Shrimp - have a thin but hard exoskeleton. Their bodies are divided into three segments: head, thorax, and abdomen. The thorax overlaps the other two body segments. They have three pairs of legs in the front and their gills are plate-like in structure.Prawns - have the same exoskeleton and body segmentation as shrimp. However, in prawns, the head overlaps the thorax, and the thorax overlaps the abdomen. They also have longer legs than shrimp. Finally, the gills of a prawn have a branching structure.

--Also,--According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawn) They are actuallydifferent creatures which resemble one another.They both taste great! ;)FriPilot--Additionally--In fact, shrimp and prawns are closely related. Let's start with the similarities. Both are decapod crustaceans. That means they have exoskeletons and 10 legs. Also, shrimp and prawns are in different suborders. Prawns are in the suborder Dendobranchiata, while shrimp are in suborder Pleocyemata. The main difference between these two suborders is gill structure. Shrimp have branching gills, while prawns have lamellar gills (a plate-like structure). The other features that distinguish the difference are that the front pincers of shrimp are usually the largest, and, generally, prawns have bigger second pincers. Prawns also have longer legs than shrimp.Actually Size has nothing to do with it. Shrimp can be larger than Prawns. Most think Prawns are always bigger. Fripilot has a very good accurate description.One thing I would add is that Prawns tend to be farmed in Asia. Just my opinion, to be Green, Buy what is close to you. In the US, that tends to be Shrimp. In the UK and Europe, I wouldn't know, but I would guess Prawns. Try to buy Any food that is farmed and grown as local as possible. Save the Planet.--From Ratismal--A prawn is different than a shrimp because, occasionally, you can find an insane one on the moon with the Toast King. You can't say that about shrimps.
