The photo above illustrates the beginning of row 4 of the Shell Block Square pattern, showing where to crochet the shell when the directions instruct to make "3 dc in space between next two 3-dc shells".

That part of the pattern uses a technique of crocheting in a space between stitches, instead of the more common method of working under the top loop of the stitches.
