Prawns - OMG!
We just BBQ'd some whole prawns and when I pulled the head off one of mine this bright orange liquid shot out across the table, anyone know what it was?! We had to throw the rest out as it's turned us both!

That sounds pretty normal to me. They all do that to some extent.

Yup, that's the norm. They also have a tube of poo running the full length of them, which is why you often get them butterflied in restaurants (not to make them look pretty).
papilon, does she eat the shells too? I was gobsmacked the first time I saw somebody do that.

But they barbeque well in their shells, so it's a choice you make.
