It is widely consider unclean but consider the following.

I think we can all agree that shrimp have fins as seen in this picture so the question is do shrimp have scales, what are scales? I would define scales as a overlapping armor, on this definition I believe shrimp have both fins and scales. So I do believe shrimp is clean according to the scriptures.

No, it's shellfish. According to the laws of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws), aquatic animals must have fins and easily removed scales.

No. Seafood must have both scales and fins (Deuteronomy ch.14). No crustacean (shellfish) is kosher.

No shellfish, including prawns, are considered kosher. In order for aquatic animals to be kosher, they must have both detachable fins and easily removed scales.
