"A creepy yet humorous still-life series about the power of the shrimp. The series title, 'Prawns Chic,' alludes to the 'porn chic' fashion trend of the 90s, famously associated with brands like Gucci under Tom Ford." – Magnus Meier-Röbke, Photographer

Note: While smaller varieties are usually called "shrimp" in English, the larger, meaty specimens (such as Black Tiger prawns) are referred to as "prawns." They have firm flesh and a delicate, slightly sweet flavor.

In British English, as well as in Australia and New Zealand, the word "prawn" is generally used for almost all varieties. In the US, however, "shrimp" is the term usually employed, regardless of size.

None of this matters to the cooking pot: their flavor and texture are simply too similar—and their nutritional profiles are virtually identical.
