Garlic Shrimp and Scallops

Sarah Close's Note:

This elegant dish brings out the flavors of both the shrimp and the scallops. I recommend that this is served over pasta. You can get both the Shrimp and Scallops from www.BigEasySeafood.com.

Liked this recipe. Be sure to buy raw shrimp, not precooked as they will be overdone. Would use a bit more chicken broth to ensure the sauce stock is ample. Great job.

I made this tonight for my spice loving husband and son. ( I am not the cook in the family!) I added a little extra paprika from Romania that a friend brought me. I also added a little white wine. It was delicious! It was actually a bit spicy for my taste but my 'boys' loved it! Thank you.

Sorry -- I prepared according to instructions, except for using clam juice for the chicken broth. It was very bland for our taste, served with Israeli couscous and fresh broccoli. Thanks for posting..
