Yes, plain, fully cooked, shelled shrimp can be given to a dog in small amounts. Make sure it is unseasoned and all shells are removed to avoid choking. Offer only a few pieces as an occasional treat, not a regular part of the diet. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of an allergic reaction, and contact your vet if any of those appear.
