PRAWN. 
The Prawn boms a great, resemblance in 
shape to the shrimp, but is much larger, 
being nearly ten times as big. When boiled 
it is of a beautiful pink colour all over its 
body. The flesh of the Prawn is considered 
by some to be superior in quality to that ot 
the shrimp, being more firm. Like the 
shrimp, it is of the lobster kind, but not so 
plentiful.
