A shrimp is sometimes called a prawn and a prawn is sometimes called a shrimp.

They are both a type of crustacean that have a similar look and taste in your ceviche recipes. 

There are a few technical differences such as gill structure and sets of legs.

Prawns are usually harvested from fresh water and shrimp from salt water. 

Prawns will usually be larger in size than shrimp.

It's better to buy shrimp or prawns to use in your ceviche recipes that still have their shells and the shells should be firm. 

The shrimp or prawns should also smell fresh.  And there should be no discoloration of their heads or shells. 

Shrimp or prawns are available fresh, cooked, or frozen. 

Fresh shrimp or prawns are very perishable and will need to be used in your ceviche recipes as soon as possible.

And they are abundant off the waters of Louisiana and Texas.

Also go by the name Northern brown shrimp and have a firm, mild tasting flesh.  They are a cold water shrimp that are wild caught.

300 Different Types of Shrimp!

There should be over 300 different types of shrimp to choose from to make your shrimp ceviche. 

Many would be from waters off the Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, or the Gulf of Mexico. 

However, you will only find a few types of shrimp in your grocery stores these days because of the pollution in these waters.
