What is the difference between a Prawn and a Shrimp?
Interesting to learn that..... It turns out, though, that there isn't a lot of clarity to be had on the matter. The problem isn't so much about ignorance on my end as it is about confusion nearly everywhere differentiating between shrimp and prawns. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the shrimp is a seawater creature, while a prawn's natural habitat is fresh water. However, this definition is not used by the grocery stores, fish markets, or the restaurants and retailers commonly differentiate them by the size. A larger jumbo shrimp (Less than 25 shrimp to a pound) with its head-on is normally referred to as prawn . . . .shrimp vs prawn = crustacean confusion. (chilecocatering newsletter)
