The simple answer: Prawns are larger than shrimp.
The complicated answer: These two words are often used interchangeably. Either word could be used to describe any small crustacean that looks like either a shrimp or a prawn. However, in America the word "shrimp" is used more commonly than "prawn". And in the UK and Australia the word "prawn" is used more commonly than "shrimp".

That's why I've been so confused!
Thank you so much!
