Flavor Profile

Both shrimp and prawns are similar in regards to their basic flavor profile, with the primary differences in taste and texture being due to diet, habitat, and region rather than if it’s a shrimp or a prawn. They have a mild, nutty flavor and firm texture, and can reach lengths of up to eight inches. They are versatile enough to cook in many ways.
