It is the shrimps digestive track. Take a sharp paring knife and run it down the back of the shrimp and pull on the track and it should come right out. Rinse throughly. Also, you could always ask your fish monger to do this for you before you pick up your shrimp!

It's the vein. Removing it is called deveining the shrimp. There is no harm in eating shrimp that haven't been deveined. But most cooks devein the shrimp, at least when serving to guests.

The "vein" of a shrimp is actually its digestive tract. While it won't hurt you to eat the vein, many people prefer deveined shrimp for appearance and (some say) taste. Here's how to devein a shelled shrimp.

That would be fish excrement as it moves through the body. When recipes say to deveign a shrimp, that is what you are removing.
