Upon plain reading of Leviticus 11:9-12 I read that eating Shrimp is an abomination. I understand many believe that the wording of it is such that its the shrimp that are dirty and not the eating, even thout the wording in the NKJV is verse 12:Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales—that shall be an abomination to you (NKJV). I understand from Matthew 15:11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.(NKJV) is used to say that we are no longer under the dietary restrictions from Leviticus.
If you answer that Leviticus was good rules for the desert becaus of food preparation, did food prepraration change in Jesus’s time making it ok to eat shrimp? Is it still a sin to eat shrimp, is it still an abmonination? Did Jesus reverse the ruling much like in the Constitution the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments reverse out the slavery rules in the original 1789 document, the 3/5 rule for example was eliminated.
