Although I have used prawns, crabs, and scallops in this recipe, you can easily substitute lobster, mussels (which you can cook in a deep-fry basket on top of the grill), razor clams, oysters, and any other shellfish. Cooking them in the shell preserves all the juices, and as they cook, the smoke from the wood or charcoal gives the shellfish a wonderful taste. Save the shrimp shells for making essence or soup.
