The shrimp Palaemon serratus of the infraorder Caridea. A shrimp (pl.: shrimp or shrimps ()) is a crustacean (a form of shellfish) with an elongated body and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion – typically belonging to the Caridea or Dendrobranchiata of the order Decapoda, although some crustaceans outside of this order are also referred to as "shrimp".
Crustaceans (from Latin meaning: "those with shells" or "crusted ones") are invertebrate animals that constitute one group of arthropods that are traditionally a part of the subphylum Crustacea (/ k r ə ˈ s t eɪ ʃ ə /), a large, diverse group of mainly aquatic arthropods including decapods (shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters and crayfish), seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill ...

Triops longicaudatus is a member of the crustacean class Branchiopoda, which primarily contains freshwater animals with gills on their legs. The class Branchiopoda is divided into the subclasses Sarsostraca, containing fairy shrimp, and Phyllopoda, containing all other members (cladocerans, clam shrimps, and the tadpole shrimp).
Mantis shrimps are carnivorous marine crustaceans of the order Stomatopoda (from Ancient Greek στόμα (stóma) ' mouth ' and ποδός (podós) ' foot ').Stomatopods branched off from other members of the class Malacostraca around 400 million years ago, [2] with more than 520 extant species of mantis shrimp known.
Scampi is a crustacean-based seafood dish, especially featuring langoustine (the Italian name of which gives the dish its name), as well as shrimp or prawns, varying regionally in preparation.

The terms true shrimp or true prawn are sometimes used to mean what a particular person thinks is a shrimp or prawn. [2] This varies with the person using the terms.
Carcinology is a branch of zoology that consists of the study of crustaceans. Crustaceans are a large class of arthropods classified by having a hard exoskeleton made of chitin or chitin and calcium, three body regions, and jointed, paired appendages. [1] Crustaceans include lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill, copepods, barnacles and crabs. [2]
