FAQs

What is the difference between shrimp and prawns?

Shrimp and prawns are related but belong to different biological suborders; shrimp are from Pleocyemata, while prawns belong to Dendrobranchiata. Shrimp have shorter legs and a single pair of claws, curved bodies with overlapping segments, and plate-like gills, whereas prawns have longer legs with multiple pairs of claws, straighter bodies, and branching gills. The terms are often used interchangeably in cooking, but scientifically they differ in anatomy and classification.

Are shrimps healthy to eat?

Shrimp are healthy to eat as they provide a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and beneficial fats. Despite being crustaceans rather than fish, shrimp offer nutritional benefits similar to prawns, though people with shellfish allergies should avoid them.

Is shrimp a fish or prawn?

Shrimp are neither fish nor prawns. They are distinct crustaceans classified under the suborder Pleocyemata, while prawns belong to Dendrobranchiata, making them different groups within the decapod order.
