Peeling shrimp for dinner. There seems to be some sort of white puffy growth on the ‘head’ of the shrimp. It’s on pretty much every one of them. I’ve peeled many a shrimp in my time, and I’ve never seen something like this before. It almost looks like a little bit of cottage cheese is growing on top of each one.
Anyone have any idea what this might be? Is it okay to eat, or should I run screaming from the house?
Here’s a picture, although I’m not sure I was able to get a shot that shows it off very well:
