Chefs devein shrimp to remove the dark line on the shrimp's back. That line is an intestinal tract that can contain grit or algae, though it is not harmful to eat. The digestive tract is not harmful to eat, and cooking kills any germs it might contain. My preference for food safety is to err on the side of caution. Also, the negative connotation regarding eating the digestive tract is that you're eating poop. Nobody wants to do that, we don't recommend it, and we will always clean shrimp.

Some cultures and restaurants do not devein shrimp, and I will leave that there. A "deveined" shrimp signifies that someone has removed the dark digestive tract, which contains waste and food. While the digestive tract isn't harmful if cooked thoroughly. Removing it prevents a gritty texture and potentially bitter or unpleasant taste. People remove it primarily for aesthetic reasons and to improve the overall eating experience. The dark line on the back is the digestive tract, which can contain grit or waste. Cosmetic and textural reasons suggest that we best remove the dark line.. The line on the underside, however, is a nerve cord and is harmless.

If you do rinse shrimp, use cold water, do it just before cooking. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to improve searing and flavor. You do not need to clean both sides of a shrimp. It is only necessary to remove the "sand vein" (intestinal tract) from the top, curved side.
