Most of the people in these comments admit to not shelling their shrimp which leads me to believe y’all don’t de-vine/clean them either. Yt folks just keep getting nasty I work in a kitchen & would NEVER cook the way I see chefs doinghttps://twitter.com/FilmCritHULK/status/1141616122048868352 …
Its mostly just unsightly, but not harmful at all. And certainly not more than the head. The shell is so important for protecting the flesh when cooking that Ill take it out after either when bisecting for serving or taking the shells for stock
