PrawnsNow, what is the distinction between a prawn and a shrimp? None, a prawn is a shrimp and vice versa. Some areas and even some countries call them prawns, while others refer to them shrimp. Some places use the word prawn to describe a really large shrimp. Other regions simply refer to them as large shrimp.

ScampiThis is another tricky term. The waters off Italy are home to a crustacean called scampi, and in Italian the word is actually one word for shrimp. But the dish we call shrimp scampi, refers to any type of shrimp cooked with garlic and butter or olive oil.Enthusiastic fishing has made these crustaceans rare today and what is often caught as scampi are actually another type of shrimp called a Norwegian shrimp, or even a Dublin Bay prawn. True scampi are actually not even technically shrimp, since they have huge front pincers, making them lobsters.

So, really there are two main classifications of shrimp: freshwater shrimp and saltwater shrimp. The freshwater kinds of shrimp grow distinctively large and are usually treated like lobsters, that is, they are shipped live, and cooked like lobsters. Saltwater shrimp sub classify into cold water or warm water types depending on where they live. Grilled Shrimp RecipeIngredients2 lb.
