Spiny-Clawed Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) also called River Prawns, Giant Freshwater Prawn, Pole Shrimp, Malaysian Prawn or Freshwater Lobster, is a species of freshwater shrimp (not prawn) native to the Indo-Pacific and northern Australia. These are the prawns with the long second walking leg and a large spiny pincher. Spiny-clawed prawns with blue bodies are more tender when broiled or baked than those with grey-green bodies. Smaller spiny-clawed prawns are called goong naang กุ้งนาง.
