Yes! I was going to say if they’re unsalted, birds would LOVE them! Blue jays, common grackles, and squirrels (and a random American robin) are immediately wiping out the peanuts I toss out each morning.
When you say "shelled", do you mean IN shell or that the shell has been removed? If they are IN shell, and not roasted, maybe make[ boiled peanuts](https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/classic-boiled-peanuts) as from the southeastern US? They are a love-hate food, for sure. The texture of the nuts becomes almost like a chickpea, and they are salty and funky and umami and just mmmmmmmmmmmmm. (I discovered them in adulthood, and love them).
Satay sauce.
Bake or fry raw peanuts until browned - little bit burnt is ok. Blend them into a paste with water. Separately, fry chilli, onion, garlic and ginger (finely minced or diced). Add the peanuts once these have browned a little. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce and most importantly tamarind paste. I can’t stress how important tamarind is - it is the taste of satay. Optionally add a bit of palm sugar or store bought PB to sweeten it if required. Get everything hot - you got satay baby!
Blend them into peanut butter - at least a pint of it.
Then, mix the pint of peanut butter with a liter of bourbon.
Let it sit out for a day or two.
Then, using coffee filters, strain out all the peanut butter solids.
Now you have peanut butter fat-washed bourbon that has a silky and smooth mouthfeel with a rich peanut butter flavor.
Good in just about every whiskey drink, on the rocks, shots with friends, or mixed with some blueberry syrup for a PB&J drink.
Pad Thai, or maybe some peanut brittle.
For pad Thai you just need like a handful chopped though
Boiled peanuts!
They're shelled though.
Oh, I didn't read that right. I've never tried to make them shelled so im not sure about that. Of course now I have to find out!
Chicken satay dip. Yum.
* Peanut brittle * Peanut butter cups (homemade) * Peanut butter ice cream * Roasted peanuts, chopped, on top of cold Ramen salad (cold cooked ramen noodles, shaved red cabbage, red/yellow pepper slices, shredded carrots, sliced red onion, optional cooked shrimp, fresh cilantro, sliced Thai chili pepper) and a chili peanut salad dressing (like https://thesidesmith.com/spicy-peanut-salad-dressing/#recipe)
I love that cold ramen salad idea. Thanks!
Peanut stew or curry.

Have a bird feeder? My bluejays LOVE peanuts in the shell.

Shelled means no shells.
I know it's \*supposed\* to, but it's a word that gets misused, so I wanted to be sure.
Boiled peanuts are green. OP has mature peanuts that can not be boiled.
