Shrimp will not decompose while they are alive. All animals, once dead, start getting decomposed. This decomposition is the result of bacterial activity. Immunity protects the live animals from getting decomposed. Dead body is very good source of food for bacteria.Bacteria are present every where in organic sources.They are already present in intestine of shrimp. They multiply at enormous speed. With in 20 to 30 minutes they get double in number. You just try doubling them for two days.(means say 96 times and see the number.)(Just try 122*2.....96 times.) In absence of water, bacteria can not decompose the body of shrimp. So they are dried in sun light, in tropical countries, to preserve them for eating. They will not decompose, once you keep them in ice compartment of your fridge. Because enzymatic activity can not go on in ice. Enzymes can not move in solid ice. So dead body can remain without decomposing for thousands of years, in the ice on top of Himalayas.
