Shrimp are crustaceans of the infraorder Caridae (order Decapoda) and are an important part of many of the world's food chains.

Shrimp and the related species of prawns are widely caught or farmed for human consumption, and are part of many varied recipes in many parts of the world, often with other types of seafood.
