make her just chicken.. devaining takes a while, is she worth it?? lol
she sounds like a miss priss.

She will just have to eat chicken.

how are u making the chicken ones? i need dinner ideas for tonight!

yo im coming over where do u live haha

Devein um its better to have um butterflyed any way especially if they are large shrimp who wants to eat shrimp ca-ca.

isn't the brown line poop? yuck
i would want it out too.

you can but then deveined from the market right? if not, you should

That line is actually the poop sack of the shrimp. I pick it out too. lol

Oh come on, be nice and devein the shrimp for her. Or tell her as you serve them, "here you go, poop free shrimp for dinner"! That's mean I know, but it was funny!

Devein the shrimp for everyones good. That is the bowel of the shrimp. It's very easy to do with your fingers or a deveiner utensil from the store.

I'd devein the shrimp. Most people don't realize that the dark line down the back is actually the intestines of the shrimp and the dark stuff is actually shrimp poop. It's not that hard to remove if you have a sharp knife. Just a little slit down the back and pull out the intestines.

The vein is on the bottom side of the shrimp.

Take the vein out of the shrimp, it only takes a few seconds, and then everyone is happy. You don't need to be a picky eater to want the digestive tract removed from a shimp. The bigger the shimp the larger the tract/vein.

I always devein my shrimp.

De-vein the shrimp, it will be better for everyone!

always devein the shrimp!.....

de-vein the shirmp, it tastes better

you should always devein your shrimp as that is the poop. shrimp are filter feeders and if you dont take that vein out (essentially the intestine/bowel!!) you're going to eat everything that shrimp had for food before it croaked. and filter feeders eat EVERYTHING that they can...
take your shelled shrimp. hold it between thumb and forefinger with the tail away from you. use a paring knife with the blade up NOT DOWN and gently slice along the vein. you can do this under cold running water to wash away the waste quickly.
good luck!

I'd suggest deveining the shrimp, for several reasons.
It looks better in the presentation and it's easier to eat. You won't have the string line hanging out when you eat it in two bites. Plus, it looks like you care a little bit.
It's not shrimp poop, but I think it's like a sand sack or something on that order.

devein the shrimp specially for her or call her and see if she wants chicken or shrimp made specially for her :)
