Shrimp - definition of Shrimp in Encyclopedia (713 words) |
 | Examples are the mantis shrimp and the opposum or mysid shrimp, both of which belong to the same class (Malacostraca) as the true shrimp, but constitute two different orders within it, the Stomatopoda and the Mysidacea. |
| The usage of the common name "shrimp" also varies: zoologically, all crustaceans belonging to Natantia (or to a corresponding list of families) are called shrimps, but in common usage, especially in relation to cooking, some of the large ones are known as prawns. |
| Shrimp and prawns are versatile ingredients, and are often used as an accompaniment to fried rice. |
