quote: ---- From Raymond Bauer in Remarkable Shrimps: * Shrimp is characteristically used to refer to those crustaceans with long antennae, slender legs, and a laterally compressed, muscular abdomen that is highly adapted for both forward swimming and a backward escape response. * Prawn is often used as a synonym of shrimp for penaeoidean and caridean shrimp, especially those of large size. ---- From the English Oxford Dictionaries: * Shrimp: a small free-swimming crustacean with an elongated body, typically marine and frequently of commercial importance as food. * Prawn: a marine crustacean which resembles a large shrimp.
