butterflied
Cut and spread
Butterflied describes food that has been cut nearly in half and opened flat, resembling butterfly wings.
Most often applied to shrimp, chicken breasts, or pork chops: butterflied shrimp, a butterflied leg of lamb.
The technique creates a thinner, more uniform piece that cooks faster and more evenly.
