Cleaning South Carolina shrimp the other day I found three different types of "vein".
The one on the bottom is familiar but who knows what the other two are?

The other two are something you don’t want in your food. If you cook them supposedly it doesn’t matter but I would rather not eat it.

When I lived in New Orleans, it was too far to travel home on just a 3 day weekend, so we would gather and let the kids swim and BBQ. Well, Nobo, who was a martial arts instructor at Tulane University, but who had lived in Japan during the war and was in the youth military, brought his hibachi grill one time and some huge shrimp. He started a fire and pierced these extra large shrimp with bamboo skewers. He put the shrimp on the grill and when the shells began to turn brown to dark brown, he flipped them over and cooked the other side. Then when that was finished, He took one and ate it whole. He offered me one and I ate it. The shell was like a glycern shell of a drug capsule. it was delicious. I doubt there's anything in the body of a shrimp that when properly cooked would be harmful for human consumption.. Just Sayin...RJS

Probably won’t hurt you but don’t research what it is either. When you shoot a deer you gut it. You don’t bbq it whole and wonder why it has a crappy flavor. When you filet a fish or gut one there is a reason before cooking it. Heat can kill bacteria but I think it’s best to remove all you can and then heat to kill the bacteria. But I cook a lot

Jeremy: Well, I was going to send a very off color comment about Cajuns and one of their sayings, but the system zapped it, so I assume it didn't want that sent. You are absolutely right, something as large as a deer, a cow, or hog, no!
There are tools to de-vein shrimp. However, I don't think the majority of restaurants in Houston use them, and Probably none in New Orleans. They simply boil and peel the shrimp, or fry them with batter. If there was any bad effects from the g.i. track of shrimp the hospitals all over the south would have been filled a century or more ago. Just Sayin...RJS

I have had complete messages disappear too before I even finish typing them. That tells me there are people watching some of us type before we even think of sending. I agree there isn't much in a shrimp vein but I avoid even a little in my dinner.

I've seen the one and do go to some lengths to remove it. The other two I'm not at all familiar with . The one looks like the nerve cord I've removed from crawdads to use in a nerve function experiment, the third I've never seen anything like it but I like the suggestion of reproductive function, maybe an oviduct.

Looks like what they are consuming, have seen different colored veins in them, I just strip them out.

Nerve function experiment? Are a mad scientist on the side?

I'm 1/2-way ashamed to admit, that I really don't know ~ the "extra veins". (I have eaten 1X POWERFUL AMOUNT of shrimp, in my life.) {I've lived & worked on several shrimp boats.} I knew a Cajun who was designated "cook" for a construction crew, down in the Atchafalaya Basin, back in 1976 y that was where I first witnessed anyone "veining" the shrimp. He was only worried ~ the big dark one, under that little "filet" of "back-meat", that peels away, easily.
Sometimes I "vein 'em"; sometimes I don't. (I usually DO get that big dark one outta there... All depends on: ¿How much have we been drinking?)

Thanks for all the comments. I suppose it really doesn't matter much but I remove everything that doesn't look pretty.

I think that is a good idea, sunpear.
