Is the black part on the shrimp’s head a brick or feces?
The black substance on the head of the shrimp is actually the go.nads (in male shrimp) or eggs (in female shrimp), not feces. It is part of the reproductive organs of the shrimp, containing reproductive cells.
However, many people mistakenly think it is feces because it is black and resembles waste, but in fact, it is part of the shrimp’s reproductive system. If you prefer not to eat this part, you can easily remove it when preparing the shrimp.
