Once again, I need your help for the menu for the company's dinner. Amongst the hot hors d'oeuves, they have: "gambas crujientes con triángulo de milhoja". Would that be "crispy shrimp"?
Thanks in advance to the connoisseurs.

: prawns for UK; shrimps for US (I translated several French cookbooks for the US market, and all my prawns got changed to shrimps by the US editors!)

crispy shrimp
When I saw your query, I thought "crispy shrimp" even before I saw that it was your suggestion. http://tinyurl.com/4hqrnv

Of course this isn't appropriate for Europe, as many others have pointed out, since shrimp are called "prawns" in the UK.

: but only for US market; otherwise, shrimp = camarón//er?? Prawns = UK market; shrimps = US (is what I meant to say - see my comment to cmwilliams, below)

Right, only it's the other way around; "prawns" instead of "shrimps" since it's the target text we're adjusting to the market, not the source.
