Aren't shrimp and prawn already the exact same thing?

Like mountain lions and cougars.

Shrimp vs prawn is colloquial, not a scientific classification, so it varies from place to place and person to person, and depending on the specific animal we're talking about, but in general

The ones we call shrimp tend to:

Live in salt water
Be smaller
Have curled bodies
Belong to the sub-order pleocytema
Have plate-like ~~girls~~ * gills*

And the ones we call prawns tend to:

Live in fresh water
Be larger
Have straight bodies
Helong to the sub-order dendrobranghiata
Have branching ~~hills~~ gills

That’s shrews for me. They’re like rodents, but way cuter.

Fun fact actually, crickets already evolve into locusts

No they don't. Are you thinking of grasshoppers, maybe? Although that's not exactly true either.
