Biologically, not fish. In culinary terms, it's considered sea-food along with shellfish and crab, etc. ordinary fish can be considered sea-food, but shrimp isn't considered fish.

The word fish is used to refer to many different creatures that live in the sea, including crustaceans (crayfish), molluscs (shellfish), echinoderms (starfish), coelenterates (jellyfish) and even occasionally mammals (whalefish - ok, it's archaic), as well as the things that everybody knows as fish. But shrimp are never called fish.
