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.
Habitat
They are found near shelf areas from the coastline and on Soft bottoms from the shore down to deeper waters.
Colour
The body is semi-translucent, somewhat yellowish-white (small specimens) or greyish green, and covered with numerous minute dark brown dots; distal part of uropod is yellowish with red margins; antennal flagella is somewhat yellowish.
Size
On average, white prawns are 3 to 6 inches ( whole ). However other sizes are also occasionally available.
Cooking Preferences
Because of their small size, they are preferred for curry, prawn masala, and cooking in rice.
