Question: what is the difference between freshwater shrimp and saltwater shrimp?
Answer: Shrimp come from both fresh and salt water and can live in both cold and warm waters; if they came from cold waters, then they will be smaller in size. There are more salt-water than fresh-water species of shrimp. Prawns come from fresh water, and are much larger and meatier than shrimp, like a langoustine.
