How to remove the shrimp thread of prawns? It’s actually very simple and you can easily solve the problem as long as you master the method. Here are some tips on how to devein raw and cooked prawns:

Removing the shrimp thread from raw prawns: There are three pieces of carapace at the tail of the shrimp, which are used to propel itself forward. You can fold off the middle piece (slightly pointed) without being too violent, and then you can gently pull the sand thread out of the shrimp's abdomen. Generally, use a knife to gently cut a line on the back of the shrimp, and then use a toothpick to pick out the sand line.

To remove the shrimp thread from cooked prawns: find the second to last section of the prawn, pick it up with a toothpick, and then use the toothpick to remove the shrimp thread from the second section of the prawn.

In addition to the shrimp thread, the sandbag inside the shrimp head is also inedible. So how do you remove the sandbag from prawns?

First of all, we need to know where the sandbag is located. The sandbag is at the root of the longest and thickest thorn of the shrimp.

Secondly, it is the method to remove the sandbags. There is a slanted line (black) in front of the shrimp head, extending from the top of the head to the lower mouth. Use scissors to cut along it. If you cut well, you can just remove the sandbag together with the front part of the head, so that you will not lose the yellow of the head; or you can use scissors to cut off one-third of the shrimp head, take out the sandbag, and try to retain the shrimp oil.
