Shrimps are small decapod crustaceans, often consumed as food, and sometimes kept as pets.
The Bible on Shrimps
"These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you." (Leviticus 11:9-12)
Christians of various sects disagree on to what extent Levitical law on this matter should be followed. Some feel that, following Matthew 15:11 ("What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.' "), all dietary restrictions are no longer required.
