no. shrimp belong to a group of animals called crustaceans and they have exosketons that is an external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body, not an internal skeleton like bones and spine.

No, shrimps do not have backbones. They are invertebrates with an exo-skeleton, just like beetles.

Shellfish are a type of invertebrates that grow an exoskeleton, a hard outer shell. Beneath the exoskeleton, the shellfish are just soft flesh. So, no they don't have backbones.
