When de-veining fresh (never frozen) shrimp, have you ever seen an orange vein?

I have definitely seen it, don’t know what causes it though…..

Gotta be something in the diet. The vein is not a vein, it is intestine.

I’ve never seen it either, only blue/black veins and I’ve deveined a lot of shrimp too according to this discussion it may be shrimp roe, shrimp eggs or shrimp fat.

Ive seen it a couple times back when I worked at a restaurant. I always thought it was roe.

The shrimp had diahrrea or something else that changed its poop color?

The shrimp’s guts were empty at the time they died.

Never seen that. Ew. Maybe it was eating carrots!

Roe really doesn’t make sense based on what I saw, now I have to look up shrimp anatomy to see how they work . . .

OK, the part of the shrimp that would hold the roe is of the segment attached to the head that is removed. Best I can tell, it may be farmed shrimp that ate shrimp food . . . how disappointing.

the few times i bought shrimp i found a couple like that. i don’t remember seeing it in the ones that come off the boats but i don’t usually devein those either….
