Then it's ok! Don't worry.
Then you digest it. Don't worry, a single shell isn't going to hurt you. -Original Answer
Actually, that is partially correct.
It won't hurt you at all, in fact it is beneficial! The shell is made up of Chitin, is an organic fiber. It helps immensely in healing wounds, it is anti fungal & anti bacterial, and it also helps block fat. If you throw away the shell, you're throwing away something that your body uses daily (and most people lack fiber in their diet!)

Fresh water animals are another issue. Quite a few fresh water animals, including arthropods, can carry parasites that are zoonotic and can travel to humans. While this doesn't happen all that often, when it does it can be pretty catastrophic. Fresh water aquatic animals should therefore be cooked before eating.
