I bought some frozen uncooked shrimp, and when I defrosted them, there was this greenish black line along the back of each shrimp. What is it and should I get rid of it? –Alex B.
This line is the shrimp’s digestive tract. Yes, you want to get rid of it. Scrape it out, either before or after cooking,
using a small knife or the tip of a potato peeler. The bigger the shrimp, the easier this line is to remove. Do the cutting/scraping
under running water, and the gritty substance will wash away.
