Little man in the pink? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shrimp

I believe this is a double definition.

'little man' is the first definition.
(term for a short or puny person)

'the pink?' is the second definition.
(shrimp is a shade of pink)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shrimp that I've seen before include "no giant" , "Seafood" , "ingredient of cocktail" , "Small crustacean often found in cocktail" , "Diminutive person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
