We all know and love Maine lobster, but even local Northwest foodies often ask what is a prawn and what is a shrimp. Hmmmm, a prawn is a prawn unless we call it a shrimp and then sometimes a shrimp is called a prawn. It’s all so confusing. The term we use often depends on were you live. Some believe that it is size that matters, with shrimp being the smaller variety. Even though we use the terms interchangeably, there actually is a difference between prawns and shrimp. The difference is in their gill structure, the way they brood their eggs and the size of their pincers. It all gets rather technical and the most important detail is that it doesn’t matter what you call them, just call them delicious!
