Removing the "sand vein" (a euphemism for the digestive tract) is referred to as "deveining". The sand vein can be removed by making a shallow cut lengthwise down the outer curve of the shrimp's body, allowing the dark ribbon-like digestive tract to be removed with a pointed utensil. Special deveining tools are sometimes used but knives, skewers, and even toothpicks can be used to devein.

你好,我以前做过英文食谱的,虾线比较书面的说法是sand vein, 当特定对象是虾的时候,美国人通常用vein这个词来指虾线,去虾线也有专有名词,是devein
devein [di:'vein]
vt. 除去(虾)的背部血管
