Sure!: You should try to have a balanced diet during pregnancy (and outside of pregnancy for that matter). Avoid large, predatory fish (swordfish, shark) because they tend to accumulate methylmercury inside them and that is a toxic substance to the fetal brain. Eating shrimp a couple of times weekly is absolutely fine during pregnancy.
