The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), also known as the Malaysian prawn or tôm càng xanh, is one of the largest freshwater crustaceans in the world. It is highly distinct for its long, striking blue pincers and robust body. Offering a firm, meaty texture often compared to lobster, along with a sweet, delicate flavor and rich head roe, this premium prawn is a celebrated delicacy for grilling, baking with garlic butter, or simmering in traditional rich curries.
