When I cook shrimp or crawfish at home I always devein them. I notice many restaurants leave the vein in. I will eat it with the vein in, but would not serve it to people in my home.

What is the standard for serving shrimp/crawfish?

Vein in for me. You are already eating a dead animal, a little poop won't hurt you.

I will not eat either with the vein in. It's disgusting. Take two seconds out of your life to remove it.

BBQ shrimp and boiled shrimp have the vein. Unless I see something really obvious, I don't stop and remove it. I usually devein when I'm shelling raw shrimp, though.

I guarantee that I could do a blind taste test with 10 vein in and 10 deveined and you wouldn't do better than 50-50...FACT

I like my shrimp butterflied and deveined.

A travesty if left in.

I will pick them out if I see them in a crawfish dish. It grosses me out. When I peel shrimp I remove the vein on top and underneath.
