Answer

Prawns are shrimp-like crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata. Prawns are distinguished from shrimp by the gill structure which is branching in prawns.

Can you freeze shrimp thaw it and refreeze it?

No! Fish is a meat that is very perishable, meaning it goes bad quickly. When I buy shrimp I usually plan to eat it that night, and I keep it on ice in the refrigerator. Where we live we don't get fresh shrimp, so it has already been frozen once, and I use it immediately. Shrimp also becomes rubbery.

How much do Ghost Shrimp cost?

PetSmart usually offers them for around 33 cents, Petco also occasionally has them. Talk to the fish person at your local store(s) and ask them to call you when they get them in (people who work in the fish part of the store are generally cool in my experience, leave your number, tell them that you really need them, etc). Call yin advance and see if they have any in stock, instead of driving there.

Also ask them what day of the week they usually get their live shipments. I couldn't justify buying ghost shrimp for more than about 50 cents a piece (not much really when you consider the scope of the amount of work that goes into growing them).

Another option would be to buy high-quality brine shrimp eggs and a cheap used brine shrimp hatchery on either Ebay or a legit-looking online store. HOWEVER I wouldn't suggest buying live ghost shrimp online, they are typically disappointingly small (or comatose/dead) upon arrival.

(This is all under the assumption that you're feeding them to fish)
