LOL. They literally carry their shits on their backs. A good cook will split up the shrimp and take those out before cooking.

Dwight to party guest at CFO's house: You know that line on the top of the shrimp? That's feces.

It is fine to eat the black stripe on shrimp back, unless they are living in & ate contaminated waste/water.

All bivalves and many other shellfish guts/body/partially digested food/shit and all are consume regularly human.
