Can you eat the black line in shrimp?
Online Answer
It is completely edible. If you still want to remove it, cook and shell the shrimp, pull off a narrow strip on its back, peel the strip down to the tail revealing the dark line, and with a small knife remove the tract. If any of it remains, don't give it a second thought.Jan 22, 1987.
