Bought ‘fresh’ Aussie banana prawns 🦐 from Coles this afternoon to go in pasta. Some of them looked really suss with full green entrails 🤢. We deveined the normal ones to eat. Not sure if this is a natural and safe thing e.g. prawns feasted on seaweed (they are the cockroaches of the sea after all) or if they are dodgy and we should chuck them. I’m not sure if I can bring myself to eat them, but also do t like waste.
Does anyone know what’s going on here? Would you eat them?

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your advice. We didn't eat the green slim ones (just four, we ate the rest) and didn't get the chance to cook them to see if the roe would turn orange. I showed the photo to Coles and the store manager said "ewww" and gave me a refund straight away. I agree with a lot of people here that perhaps they were edible and maybe we're conditioned to like things to look uniform, as expected etc, which is not great for preventing waste and keeping costs low etc. I think in future I'll go to the trawler or fish monger and ask for what I'm looking for - lesson learned.
