More Food Adventures: Prawns for Dinner

Shop at More Food Adventures

As I was walking home tonight, I chanced upon a man selling these lovelies, and marked them down because he said he wanted to go home but could not do so until he finished selling them. So I asked for the price, and because it was way more than reasonable, I bought them.

At first I thought they were shrimps, but later at home, I realized that they were actually prawns. Prawns are crustaceans similar in appearance to that of the shrimps, but differences can be distinguished by the gill structure which is branching in prawns and not in shrimp. Also, prawns are related to the crab and the lobster, while shrimps, at some point in their life, are food for the crabs, lobsters and other crustaceans, fish, birds and other animal species.

Anyway, they were cooked much like the Shrimp Adobo, but the taste is different. The meat of the prawn is different from the shrimp too. But we love them both.. hehehe..
