Shrimp with orange juice and chili
What is the difference between prawns and shrimps? Most people use them as synonyms and think that size is the main distinction between them. Shrimps and prawns look very similar, especially if they are beautifully served in a plate (without a shell).
Although prawns are bigger than shrimps in most cases, they have different anatomy: shrimps have claws on two of their five pairs of legs, prawns have claws on three of their five pairs of legs. Shrimps have body shape with distinctive body bend, prawns don’t. Prawns release eggs into the water, while shrimps brood eggs on the underside of their body. If prawns are very big, they are usually called King prawns.
