The term prawn is used particularly in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Commonwealth, for large swimming crustaceans or shrimp, especially those with commercial significance in the fishing industry. Shrimp that fall in this category often belong to the suborderDendrobranchiata. In North America, the term is used less frequently, typically for freshwater shrimp. The termsshrimp andprawn themselves lack scientific standing. Over the years, the way shrimp and prawn are used has changed, and nowadays the terms are almost interchangeable.

Garlic Prawns – quick, easy and fabulous

This is a spectacular way to cook prawns. Especially fresh prawns. If you make the effort to peel fresh prawns, there’s no need to get fancy with the cooking. Keep it simple, let the flavour of the prawns shine through. They don’t need much.

All you need is garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.

the secret ingredient: a splash of white wine while the prawns are cooking. It adds another layer of flavour to the prawns as well as stopping the garlic from burning.

This recipe is super simple but I have a few tips for how to make top notch Garlic Prawns:

• Chop the garlic rather than mince it using a garlic crusher. Minced garlic has a tendency to burn (and splatter) when cooked over very high heat;

• Only marinate for 20 minutes.Prawns have delicate flesh, you’ll overpower them if you marinate for much longer; and
• A splash of wine stops the garlic from burning and gives the flavour a real restaurant-edge. It truly makes all the difference. Use chicken or vegetable broth if you can’t consume alcohol.

Ingredients

SHRIMP

A small free-swimming crustacean with an elongated body, typically marine and frequently harvested for food.

Shrimp are marine crustaceans that are found on the bottom of the water in nearly every environment around the world. Shrimps are generally tiny in size, with some species of shrimp being so small that many animals cannot see them.

The shrimp lives on the river beds and ocean floors around the world, filtering sand and particles in the water. Shrimp are known to stay in schools that contain numerous shrimp individuals, and are able to adapt easily to changes in water conditions.

Shrimp turned up in English only in the late Middle period and meant “a dwarfish creature.” The verb shrimp “shrink” also exists. The closeness of shrimp and shrink is apparent.
