Scallops Newburg

Shawn C's Note:

Nice meal for a romantic evening date night. Or a elegant appetizer for a dinner party, especially if you can fine some nice scallop shells to bake and serve them in. You can prepare them earlier in the day and refrigerate until ready to bake (without topping) and then top and bake when needed.

Great recipe! We mixed in pre-steamed asparagus and served over pasta. Topped the whole with a few flakes of Parmesan cheese.

Cut the asparagus stems in 3 %u2013 4 pieces and separate the tips. Steam the stalks for 2 minutes and then add tips. Steam for 1 minute more. When you mix in a veggie this way you need a little more sauce and may want to make the sauce slightly thinner.

We also needed a little longer in the oven. 15 %u2013 20 minutes on convect at 350 deg worked well.

Agree with previous review that you hardly taste the Tabasco but more hot sauce would probably detract from the delicate flavor of the scallops.

Awesome recipe Shawn, my dh is still raving about tonights meal. We love scallops and prepared this way they are phenominal. Loved all the flavors, but best of all you could still taste the scallops, nothing masked them. The scallops were juicy, tender and oh so flavorful, the sauce was silky and smooth, topped with a crunchy toasty treat. Thank you for sharing a recipe, that will go into our keeper box. This will definitely be our go to scallop recipe. :)
