A 700g net pack of enormous raw headless prawns at the U/5 size grade — meaning fewer than 5 prawns per kilo (so each prawn here is genuinely huge). Macrobrachium rosenbergii, freshwater prawns farmed in Bangladesh — an Eastern delicacy. Raw and simple to cook; keep the tails on or remove as you prefer.
