  Pepe the Prawn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pepe the Prawn is one of the Muppets.
Pepe ditched his partner (Seymour has not been seen since Muppets Tonight went off the air) and began a "solo act" starring in the movie Muppets from Space, and continuing today.
Pepe is very proud of being a king prawn, and takes great offense if anyone refers to him as "shrimp." He speaks with a heavy Spanish accent, often punctuating his sentences with "Okay?" He is also something of a humorous lothario, and frequently spews sexual innuendo.

 Prawn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prawns are edible, shrimp-like crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata 
The name "prawn" is often mis-applied, most often to shrimp, generally the larger species, such as Leander serratus; in the United States, according to the 1911 Encyclopedia, the word "prawn" usually indicates a freshwater shrimp or prawn.
As used in commercial farming and fishery, the terms shrimp and prawns are generally used interchangeably.
