Large prawns are usually called 'jumbo prawns' or 'jumbo shrimp'. The words shrimp and prawn are used mostly interchangeably even though shrimp and prawns differ in their gill structure and are not the same creatures.

Normally prawns or shrimp which are more than 1 ounce in weight (raw) are called 'jumbo' prawns or jumbo shrimp. This is 16 prawns per pound.
