Freshwater prawns, commonly known as scampi (species like Macrobrachium rosenbergii), are prized for their sweet, succulent flavor and tender texture. These crustaceans are primarily found in freshwater environments such as rivers and lakes, thriving in warm, tropical climates. Scampi are versatile in culinary applications, making them a favorite in a variety of dishes—from pasta and risottos to curries and grilled preparations. Their ability to absorb flavors makes them a delicious choice for both home cooks and professional chefs alike. Beyond their culinary appeal, freshwater prawns are also recognized for their nutritional value, offering an array of essential vitamins and minerals.
