In order for a fish to be kosher it has to have scales and fins. That leaves out all shellfish. However, this applies only to Jews, if you're not Jewish and your religion doesn't have a rule against eating shellfish, enjoy!

It depends on what part of The Bible you follow.

In the Old Testament, the answer is "No". Leviticus 11:9 clearly states that only those animals in the ocean with fins and scales are to be eaten. Since shrimp have neither, they are prohibited.

In the New Testament, the answer is "Yes". According to Peter's vision as recorded in Acts of the Apostles 10:9-16, a believer may eat both clean and unclean animals, so eating shrimps would be permissible.
