Default Feeding prawns with shell to Rays?

Anybody here feeding prawns with the shell to their rays?
i usually peel off the shell, but was wondering if they can be fed with the shell on, but chopped to bite size.

for my big rays , they eat as is , never remove anything. they are happy to do so

but the smaller one i remove head and tail , rest cut into small pieces, always end up seeing the shell floating around in the tank.
