The body shell is mainly considered a throwaway part of the shrimp, although likely because is is very tough and chewy and would likely cause digestion issues. The shell also includes the eyes, mouth and antennae, which are rarely eaten from any animal in modern cuisine. The shelled tail is edible, and would likely not cause a digestion problem because it is smoother and smaller. It would be similar to eating a sunflower seed shell. Etiquette calls for this to be removed and discarded, but it is not as important in a non-formal situation.
