    Can shrimp shells be eaten?
    Community Answer
    You can eat them, but they will not digest. If you have diverticulitis, it could cause issues, but other than that you would just poop them out.

  • Question
    Do I devein shrimp before I boil them?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You want to avoid having the vein in the shrimp while it's cooking so you minimize any toxins or bad stuff from what's basically the shrimps colon seeping into the shrimp meat.
