[Zikofski]

pls can someone confirm if this is indeed the exo skeleton or. A dead shrimp its of an amano shrimp

Definitely a exoskeleton or moult off a shrimp

Yep it's a moulted exoskeleton - this is what a dead shrimp looks like:
It's the opaque white one next to the pebbles. Not sure if you can see it from this angle, but it's little black eyes were evident - you don't usually see black eyes in exoskeletons

Yeah, that's a skeleton/ moult. If it's empty it's usually just a moult.

First time I seen one of those I thought one of mine had died too. Thankfully it is just the moulted exoskeleton. If you keep it in the tank you will see the other shrimp eat it to reassimilate the minerals, waste not want not and all that.
