Another keeper. I cooked large sea scallops with the oysters. I think next time I will give the scallops a head start due to the different cooking times. Thanks!

Loved this! Puts a new twist on an old favorite! :) Simple to prepare, unique flavor, and I used a fat free butter spray in place of the real thing, and it was fantastic!
