Worth a go if you want to splash (ho ho) out. Bit pricey but not too bad if you don't do it often.

the shrimp/prawns you get in sarnies around here are way smaller than anything you could cook with.
Pricey? How much are we talkin here?

I was thinking of the lil brown shrimps that tarannau just mentioned. For me shrimps are the weeny ones, prawns the next size up, then Dublin Bay (scampi) prawns, then crayfish, then lobster. Although there's probably variations in between.

Essex, eh.
In the UK we use shrimp for anything small in theory - anything less than 12 to the pound or something. In effect the brown shrimp, the little tasty buggers, is the one everyone's after. Prawn denotes pretty much everything else these days. I think tradtionally a prawn denoted a large shrimp and now all the different types of tiger prawns, dublin bay etc are often used as an indication of size.
In much of the rest of the world, notably the Americas and Australia, shrimps are the order of the day. And them shrimps are generally large

Several, more than likely-- Annie's on the thread.
Where I live, in the eastern half of Canada, all crustaceans of the type we're talking about are called "shrimp", even the monsters that are 5-8 count per pound. On the west coast, they're "prawns", even when they're those tiny Icelandic ones for sandwiches. :shrug:

I love prawns, me.
I like shellfish generally, but prawns and cockles are my favourites and I'll eat a whole bagful when I get them.
You do have to be careful with shellfish though. I remember once I ate just a single dodgy cockle and I spent the next 24 hours alternately puking and projectile shitting like a fountain.

I think it's my favourite of their sarnies although it's hard to choose. I'm a sucker for being robbed blind by pret
