Directions:

Combine water and salt in large bowl. Add mussels and soak 30 minutes. Snip prawn shells along backs, using kitchen shears. Rinse under cold running water, removing veins.

Prepare barbecue. Sprinkle hot coals with mesquite. Position rack about 6 inches above coals. Pat prawns dry and brush with oil. Drain mussels. Arrange prawns on rack, cover barbecue and cook 2 minutes. Turn prawns and add mussels. Cover and cook until prawns just turn opaque and mussels open, about 2 minutes for prawns and 3 minutes for mussels.

For the sauce: Blend mustard, honey, tahini, yolk, vinegar, sesame oil and salt 30 seconds in food processor. With machine running, pour safflower oil through feed tube in thin stream and blend well. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Serve seafood with sauce.
