by the actual dictionary definition, she is not a vegetarian. shrimp is an animal. my rule of thumb is to ask two questions:
1) does it have a face?
2) does it have a mommy?
If yes is the answer, it's an animal.

Shrimp (just like fish) is meat.
So no, she is not a vegetarian.

If she eats shrimp, then she isn't abstaining from eating meat because seafood is meat. Technically, she is not a vegetarian, but there are a lot of people out there that do eat seafood and call themselves vegetarian even though they really aren't.

There are soooo many types of vegetarians out there. She is a semi-vegetarian - someone who may include fish or poultry in their diet. I was told by an Indian friend that the area he is from they consider fish part of a vegetarian diet.

There are a gazillion definitions of vegetarian...if thats what she wants to call herself, so be it.
"Vegetarian—There are several categories of vegetarians, all of whom avoid meat and/or animal products. The vegan or total vegetarian diet includes only foods from plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes (dried beans and peas), grains, seeds, and nuts. The lactovegetarian diet includes plant foods plus cheese and other dairy products. The ovo-lactovegetarian (or lacto-ovovege-tarian) diet also includes eggs. Semi-vegetarians do not eat red meat but include chicken and fish with plant foods, dairy products, and eggs. "

Some vegetarians only eat fish which is the healthiest of all meats. High in protien, so im so sick of people saying "OH NO SHE IS NOT A VEGETARIAN SHE ATE A MEAT, LIKE OMG". Shut the hell up.
