Can anyone tell me what this creature is?

Found a bunch of them in one of my prawns traps. Never seen them before. Looks like an odd lobster or some type of prawn.

Anything on them to eat? Looks like front legs might have a bit of meat in them? Maybe a morsel in the tail too. People trap and eat crayfish around here and they’re a lot smaller than that.
