The Caridea, commonly known as caridean shrimp or true shrimp, from the Greek word καρίς, καρίδος (karís, karídos, “shrimp”), are an infraorder of shrimp within the order Decapoda. This infraorder contains all species of true shrimp. They are found widely around the world in both fresh and salt water.

Caridae is a small Gondwanan family of weevils. They are considered part of the primitive weevil group, because they have straight rather than geniculate (elbowed) antennae . The insertion of the antennae on the rostrum cannot be seen from above.

Caridae is a small family with only a handful of species described. They are part of the benthic community, crucial for nutrient cycling in deep-sea ecosystems. Some species of Caridae exhibit bioluminescence, although it's rare.

Several species of the infraorder Caridae have this amphidromous life cycle; however, there is little definitive knowledge about the life cycle of most shrimp species. The two most diverse and widespread families of freshwater decapods that also have amphidromous species are the Atyidae (shrimps) and the Palaemonidae (prawns).
