Did my shrimp die?

Sorry as I am a beginner. Can someone please tell me if my shrimp died? If you see the picture there is a peace of skin in the middle of the bowl.

That is just the exoskeleton from one of your shrimp. That is completely normal. They shed and regrow their outer layer. Also, the shrimp will acually eat the exoskeleton, so you don't have to remove it.
