Shrimp have probably been eaten by human kind since the first peoples began to harvest from the seas. 

Using baskets, weirs, and nets made from plants, seafood like shrimp, crabs, shell fish, and other crustaceans were gathered from the shallow waters off coasts around the world.

American commercial shrimping began with Cajun fishermen during the mid 1700s in Louisiana and Chinese immigrants in California during the California Gold Rush.
