Takeaway gave me allergen

I'm wondering if AIBU and also how you would deal with this if it was you?

I got a takeaway last night from a Chinese that I eat from usually once a week. I ordered a chicken dish. This chicken is in a batter/coating and as I was eating it I started to feel really woozy and ill. My throat felt scratchy and my lips started tingling… I panicked as I was taking an allergic reaction (I’m allergic to shellfish but I’m very careful and it’s been a long time since I took a reaction)

I dissected some of the ‘chicken’ and couldn’t believe it they were jumbo prawns!!!!

luckily mum was here with me and able to locate my Epi pen.

im not a person who usually complains but I think I need to call them when they open tonight and inform them. AIBU?

mum thinks IABU and it’s an easy mistake to make. I personally think a mistake like this could be fatal to someone and not acceptable!

how would you handle it?

I can’t believe your mum! Definitely tell the restaurant, you also need clarification on how things are cooked. If you’re usually fine it should be OK but you don’t know if they’ve got new kitchen staff or changed processes.
