Spring Seafood Stew
Spring Seafood Stew recipe Cooking Light, May 2002 I had a few scallops, a piece of halibut, and bought some shrimp to make this. I didn't use all the seafood listed in the ingredients.

Chives? I didn't get the chives. The scallops are good enough on their own and this orzo is just a nice … [Read more...]
Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Spicy Mayo

That being said, the guy at Giant told us that this particular pack of frozen sea scallops would be better than the "fresh" ones that were in their seafood case. They were. I was quite surprised!! We thawed them IN THE BAG in cold water for about an hour and then put them in the fridge to thaw the rest of … [Read more...]
