How can we avoid shellfish, or any food cooked with shellfish or in the same pan as shellfish.?
My husband is very very allergic to shellfish, and can stop breathing if he eats them

Tell the chef or waiter what you don't want. Or try as much as Western restruant.Will be easier for u. But Most of Xi'an 's restruant don't server seafood at all. You can always try Muslin food.Do not try Cantonese Cusine.(Main courses always go with seafood)
you'd better tell your request to the waiter before. And don't worry about that. In most restaurants of Xian, you would taste and have the seafood fewer than in the coastal cities, such as Canton, Shenzhen, Fuzhou and Amoy, unless you ask. Most offer the delicate and delicious Chuan dish. And many yum snacks here you may enjoy. Try the Muslim Quarter. near the Great Mosque.
