    I am from Canada and have been working in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years. We grew up calling everything that looks like a shrimp, a shrimp. But people in the restaurant industry usually use prawns because it's bigger and it is more flavourful similar to what your dad has mentioned.

    My mum had a friend who owned a transport company in Hawaii. He bought a shrimp 'farm' in China and went to visit it quite a while later. On the way there, he got to talking with a stranger who told him there were some really great tasting shrimp at the village my mum's friend was going to. When the stranger was asked the cost of these shrimp, he said they were free! Apparently, workers there were robbing the place blind and giving the shrimp away! 😆

      It rly depends on what sort of thing in shrimp/prawn one is allergic to. It might be a type of protein in their flesh/shell/etc. You can probably get the specific allergen tested and if the other animal doesn’t contain that, then you’re not allergic to it. (Not medical advice.)

    Outside of North America, prawns are caught and farmed in salt water. Many places have freshwater shrimp and other crustaceans, often known by a range of local names. The distinction between shrimp and prawn is often based on size, with shrimp referring to smaller prawns, though terms can be used interchangeably to accomodate American speech.

      I'm fine with the stories on the recipe site because there are literally tabs on the top that say *Background,* *Ingredients,* *Steps,* and *Summary.* That let you easily skip the stories if you want to.
      Though I do agree that it's probably a good idea to keep the shorts on a separate channel. Some people like them, and some people don't, but there's currently no way to toggle them off in your subscription feed. So a separate channel is a good way to do that.
