1 meaning of shrimped

verb
Simple past and past participle of shrimp.
The family shrimped the shallow bays each season.
Local crews had shrimped those waters for decades.
Note
A regular -ed form, so one spelling does both jobs: simple past (they shrimped all summer) and past participle after have or had (they had shrimped since dawn). It can carry either meaning of the verb: to fish for shrimp, usually with no object, or to contract or shrink. Context separates them. Boats and bays point to fishing, and anything that has drawn in or dwindled points to shrinking.
