What is “prawns”?
Click to expand...
Shrimp, the more petite crustacean, live in saltwater. There are a few small but distinguishing details to tell if your crustacean is a shrimp. Shrimp have claws on two of their legs, and the second segment of their shell overlaps the first and third shell segments.—This also gives a distinct bend to their shape, another detail to notice when shopping for seafood.

Prawns live in fresh or brackish (somewhat salty) water, often near the bottom. These crustaceans have claws on three of their legs, which you can spot if you purchase unpeeled seafood. Prawns' shell segments overlap down their abdomen (first overlaps second, second overlaps third), meaning there's less of a distinct bend in their body.
