A Delicious Grilled Shrimp Recipe

Did you know that shrimp come in more than 300 variety

? While there may be a basic understanding of the kinds of shrimp being sold in the supermarket as cooked or raw, there are more names that can be added to shrimp. However, these names are not specie, but are instead just synonyms. For instance prawn and scampi are synonyms for shrimp while gulf shrimp only indicates where the shrimp came from.

Prawns

Now, what is the difference between a prawn and a shrimp? Nothing, a prawn is a shrimp and vice versa. Some regions and even some countries call them prawns, while others refer to them shrimp. Some regions use the word prawn to denote a really large shrimp. Other locations simply refer to them as large shrimp.

Scampi

This is another troublesome term. The waters off Italy are home to a crustacean called scampi, and in Italian the word is actually one word for shrimp. But the dish we call shrimp scampi, refers to any type of shrimp cooked with garlic and butter or olive oil.

Enthusiastic fishing has made these crustaceans scarce today and what is usually caught as scampi are actually a different type of shrimp called a Norwegian shrimp, or even a Dublin Bay prawn. True scampi are actually not even technically shrimp, since they have huge front pincers, making them lobsters.

So, truly there are two main categories of shrimp: freshwater shrimp and saltwater shrimp. The freshwater kinds of shrimp grow distinctively large and are usually treated like lobsters, that is, they are shipped live, and cooked like lobsters. Saltwater shrimp sub classify into cold water or warm water kinds depending on where they live.
