These words have different meanings to some. I take "shelled" as having
had the shells removed (peas, oysters, etc) and "unshelled" as still
having the shells on. I see from the dictionary that "shelled" can have
my meaning but it can also mean "having or enclosed in a shell" which is
quite the opposite.
Perhaps we should avoid using these words.

It's a riot seeing a Hairy Woodpecker taking his/her time eating
