My Dr said all cooked seafood was fine, but can't eat whole crabs due to the "mustard " (poop) in them which has some type of bacteria that can harm the placenta.. other then that I eat shrimp scallops crab legs and anything else that sounds good at the time lol

You are allowed seafood as long as its not raw. Just moderation is key due to mercury levels. Ive never had prawns but they are i believe in the shrimp family and i have shrimp at times. Dont believe its a problem. Like above said, u can look online to give you whats considered a serving and whats safe but you should be fine.

You can have seafood with low mercury contents in moderation. Im not sure about prawns, but just as an example youre allowed a can of tuna a week. You could probably google it and find a list of the different types with the safe amount per week
