There are many commandments regarding food in the Torah (known to Christians as the Pentateuch). Among them, Jews are commanded not to eat anything which lives in the water, unless it has fins and easily removed scales. Consequently, prawns, as well as shrimp, crabs, calamari, etc., are forbidden. Swordfish and sturgeon have fins but no scales, so Jews don't eat those either. For more information, look in The Bible under Leviticus 11: 9-12 and Deuteronomy 14: 9-10.
