The Americans like to call prawn shrimps however... So I'll continue to call these wee critters prawns regardless of size or origin!

Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can BBQ it, boil it, broil it, sauté it. Dey's uh shrimp kaboob, shrimp creyole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fired, deep fried, Stir fried. Pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, Pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, Shrimp salad, shrimp and potato, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That - That's about it.
