    Took me quite a while to get this one, via multiple levels of abstraction. Growing up in the UK deep-fried scampi was quite a common dish in the nascent UK pub-food scene. Officially langoustine tails, but sadly it was often a reconstituted nugget-like fake. So always understood to be quite different from a prawn/shrimp, plus in UK English the word shrimp refers only to the smallest type of prawn.
