A shrimp shell, or exoskeleton, is primarily composed of chitin, a tough, flexible polysaccharide. This chitin is often reinforced with proteins and minerals, such as calcium carbonate, which provide additional strength and rigidity. The combination of these materials gives the shrimp shell its characteristic hardness and protective qualities.
