According to my mom when I was younger I had an allergic reaction to shrimp and then later with Penicillin i would like to enlist as an 11X but I don't think I will be able to join with two medical waivers which both are common medicine in the military. I am seeing a allergists eventually to see if I've 'outgrown' them persay since I haven't been around them in 15-16 years, I just want to know my chances of getting in with two medical waivers. Thank you for you're serivce.

(Join to see) I've been allergic to penicillin my whole life. Never an issue. I also know others allergic to shelf fish. Stop wondering aloud and go see a recruiter, or don't. Up to you.

Medical Conditions That Can Keep You From Joining the Military
These standards generally apply to all branches of the military. None of them are automatic disqualifiers, just red flags.

Shouldn't be an issue. Those are two very common allergies (though odd to see both in the same person). If those are the only issues, you should be fine.
