Prawns

Prawns are small, aquatic crustaceans similar to shrimp but generally larger, characterized by a slender body, long legs, and a curved shell. They live in freshwater and saltwater environments, often near the seabed. Prawns have a hard exoskeleton that they molt as they grow. They are an important part of the food chain, feeding on algae, plankton, and small fish, and are also valued as seafood for their sweet, tender meat. Prawns are commonly used in cooking worldwide and are appreciated for their nutritional benefits, including high protein and low fat content.
