Sautéed or gilled baby crayfish/crawfish
Both these terms for "cigalita" are correct, Peter, but I would leave out "abiertas". It just doesn't sound at all good in Spanish or in a Spanish menu in my opinion (23 years in food services business).

: Split and grilled what, Graham. You haven't really answered the question, don't you think? you could always put this term in the discussion area, but I think you've missed the main point.

Grilled, butterflied langoustines
I know a la plancha is on a hot, flat grill, but normally it's translated as grilled. Slicing down the back or one side of either a prawn, breast of chicken etc but not all the way through is "to butterfly".

Sautéed or (split) grilled scampi
You may decide the "split" bit is unnecessary, though at least in one (rather smart looking place) place in Ohio they seem to serve it!
