BUR #7221 has been approved by @nonamethanks.
Prawn is the British and Commonwealth English preferred term while shrimp is the American English one. So, alias. The shrimp tag is also more highly populated and has a wiki.
There are some (fisheries and culinary) people that distinguish between the two (by size, anatomical features, habitat, etc), but these criteria change when moving between different English-speaking countries, so no point enforcing the distinction. Not to mention most of the time they aren't visually distinct anyway when drawn.
