yes shrimp belong in the shellfish group due to the fact that it does have a shell over it ,, you have to peel the shell off the shrimp to eat it so therefore yes it belongs in the shellfish group... pick me for best answer :)

Yes.
IslandGuy, do some more research.
Shellfish is a culinary term for aquatic invertebrates used as food: molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Both saltwater and freshwater invertebrates are considered shellfish.
Molluscs commonly used as food include the clam, mussel, oyster, winkle, and scallop.
Some crustaceans commonly eaten are the shrimp, prawn, lobster, crayfish, and crab.

Shellfish include clams, oysters, and mussels. The term shellfish does not include crabs, lobsters, or shrimp!!!

It has a shell and lives in the water so the answer must be YES. Did you have a doubt and think it was a kind of worm?
