Deveined
Deveined prawns have the digestive tract removed along the back—cleaner presentation and milder flavour for guests sensitive to the vein. The cut may be shallow (vein only) or deep (butterfly). Pat dry before high-heat cooking so they sear rather than steam. Do not overcook; prawns turn from translucent to just opaque in minutes.
