Shrimp versus Prawns

The meme above says 'Purchased a log home'. It has a photo of a pickup truck carrying a huge pile of logs. It finishes with '...from Ikea'.

This link explains the difference between shrimp and prawns. My sister from California shared it with me. I thought they were the same thing, how about you?  They are different creatures with different structures.  Prawns live in fresh water while shrimp live in both fresh and salt water.  Prawns are generally larger but they taste the same as shrimp.

Shrimp and Okra on the Menu

Frozen shrimp were on sale at the grocery store so that is what I made one day. Fresh okra was also on sale.

Frozen shrimp can be thawed in the refrigerator overnight, or rinsed in cold water for about 20 minutes before use. I sauteed the shrimp in olive oil and fresh minced garlic for about 5 minutes, as I noticed these shrimp already came with salt.

After some googling, I decided the chop the tips off the okra and steam them for 6 minutes. Then I just sauteed them in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, salt and garlic.
