Always devein them.Cut a narrow slit along the back and pull out the digestive tract.

yep, always - too gritty (also gross lol) otherwise. Do as davidt4 suggests, pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

ElliehenI always love your humour. This post reminded of yours reminds me ofwhen I was a kiddie, andI used to painstakingly dissectwhitebait fritters and cut off the tiny end with the eyes. I didn't like them looking at me. Makes me laugh to think about it now.

It's not difficult. I use de veining scissors which are curved and easily snip up the back of the prawn to expose the vein.

I always de-vein prawns. I can never really figure out why we do this as we eat the whole mussel & cockle etc without taking out their scary bits.
