NOTES | Differences: Shrimp bodies are encased in a sort of accordion shell, with a membrane between the segments, which makes them super flexible and bendy. Prawns have a shell where each segment overlaps the one below it, giving them a stiffer body and less movement. Prawns, in comparison, have branching gills, and claws on three sets of their legs, with the front pair being noticeably larger. Prawns are typically larger than shrimp. There's really no difference between "gambas" and a prawns. Both are crustaceans with 10 legs! The term "gambas" comes simply from the Spanish, and is more of a trade name used in France for large prawns measuring between 15 and 20 cm. |
