But then why does God prohibit cheeseburgers? Leviticus warns against eating meat and dairy products together. That's why Orthodox Jews today use separate sets of dishes.
But I've never seen a good reason against eating shellfish. I love crab, shrimp, and lobster. My guess is that some guy back when Leviticus was being written ate some shrimp and had an allergic reaction to it such as anaphylaxis and died, so the priests of the time declared that God obviously must not approve of shellfish since this guy ate it and was punished by God with death.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
