This may be a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway. Just bought and defrosted some wild

shrimp. I'm making an Indonesian dish for dinner tonight. When I shelled and deveined there was a yellow orange substance where I cut the shell. Kind of over the vein.

What is it?

I don't know exactly what it is but I always rinse it out. My Thai friends

say I'm crazy. They love it! But hey, they love deep fried chicken feet and a variety of fried bugs that I just could never give a try. ;0)

Thanks- I rinsed!
