Are Shrimp & Prawns The Same Thing?
No, shrimp and prawns are different, prawns have claws on six of their legs and shrimp have claws on four of their legs.
The second set of pincers are larger than the front ones on prawns where as shrimps front legs have the larger pincers.
Some variety of prawns grow much larger than shrimp such as king prawns, tiger prawns and banana prawns.
Do Shrimp and Prawns Taste The Same?
Many people claim that prawns taste sweeter than shrimp but we cannot taste the difference.
We’ve used both prawns and shrimp in the same recipes depending mostly on where we are in the World.
When used in a curry you certainly would not be able to tell any difference in flavor of prawns or shrimp.
How To Store Curried Prawns
Store curried prwans in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat, until warmed through.
