Prawn heads

Quick question?

Due to a bit of a fluke, I've ended up with some prawns, but I don't eat them myself...

Can I give them to the dogs?

Should I peel them or are they okay whole?

    If you know anyone with chickens, they’ll love it, but it’s best to avoid giving it to dogs or cats.

    Personally, whether it’s shrimps (brown ones, definitely not king prawns haha) or langoustines, I remove the rostrum with a pick and my little rascal absolutely loves all the insides of the head 🥱

    Don’t get too excited, there were only six of them, and once they were peeled it just flavoured their bowls 😂. I did a favour for a neighbour and he brought me round some lunch as a thank you; it was fish and grilled king prawns... so now you know the full story 😅. Thanks for your replies.

    Mmmm... 😋😋😋 you can turn it into a sauce, it’s divine! And if you don’t fancy it, the dogs can have it. If there’s a lot of it, you can put it into ice cube trays to freeze it (lucky things!)

    With some species of prawn, there's a hard, sharp rostrum on the head, which is the only potentially dangerous part. We used to have a Lab who’d crunch on crabs on the beach 😆

    And besides, who cares about cholesterol? Life’s miserable enough at the moment as it is, so we might as well treat ourselves! 😁

    Hi Emla

    Lucky you, prawns are delicious! Give them to the neighbours if you’re not going to eat them – but whatever you do, don’t give them to your fur babies whole, as there’s a sharp spike on the head.

    Personally, I steer clear of the head. For a start, it's full of stuff that's high in cholesterol...
