The invention provides a shrimp aquaculture method. The shrimp aquaculture method includes (1), constructing aquaculture ponds; (2), constructing crawfish holes; (3), pretreating the aquaculture ponds; (4), fertilizing water; (5), releasing aquatic plants, to be more specific, bundling the aquatic plants by ropes to obtain stacks and releasing the stacks at the bottoms of the aquaculture ponds at intervals of 6 meters; (6), releasing baby crawfish; (7), releasing crawfish fodder on the aquatic plants of first platform structures twice on a daily basis; (8), carrying out later-period management. Each aquaculture pond is a trapezoid, and the corresponding first platform structure and a second platform structure are respectively arranged at trisect positions of the side walls of each aquaculture pond. The shrimp aquaculture method has the advantages that water in the aquaculture ponds is reduced and reaches first platforms or second platforms periodically in crawfish aquaculture procedures, the aquaculture ponds are disinfected and treated, and accordingly the crawfish survival rate can be increased.
