Answer:

Chitin

Step-by-step explanation:

This glucose derivative is in fact the main building block of cell walls in not only arthropods (including the shrimp), but also fungi and insects, and also has a structural function in the scales of fish. The most similar commonly-known substance in terms of function is keratin, which makes up our hair and nails.
