Cooking Tip

Sea Scallops
You could obviously use bay scallops for this recipe, just cut the cooking time a few minutes as the bay scallops are considerably smaller in size.

Cooking Tip

Fresh Shellfish
Instead of scallops, use fresh or forzen crab, fresh or frozen shrimp, or even a heavy fleshed white fish. Vary your cooking times to compensate.
