Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Note the history related to your husband taken prawn last night, got shivering, vomiting and diarrhea, was not allergic in the past, his friend who ate the same prawns is fine without any symptoms.
The most probable cause is development of allergic reaction and hence I would advise you the following:
To rush him to the ER or the hospital.
He may needs replacement of fluid, electrolytes and most important the antibiotics or steroids as may be the report of the stool and the clinical evaluation.
Do not waste any time at home.
