FANTASTIC!! Looks and tastes gourmet but super easy to fix! I used a red bell pepper so threw in some spinach when the tomatoes were cooking to give it some green. I also doubled the garlic. The addition of real grated parmesan cheese took it "over the top". We'll definitely be using this recipe again! I only had scallops. I can't wait to try it with scallops and shrimp. LOVED it!

Amazing! Defiantly a new favorite, its easy, and so yummy! I add some lemon zest in with the garlic for extra flavor. =)

So darn good! My husband had never eaten scallops in his 62 years of life ... mainly because his mother doesn't like them, but it's probably because she didn't have them prepared this way!! I didn't have the canned tomatoes, so I used the Rotel with the chillies as well. I did have the bell pepper, fresh onion, and added basil, oregano, and Italian seasoning. I did have fresh, grated parm and offered it to my husband, but he refused it because he didn't want to cover up how good it was without it!! Thanks, Lori - was a real treat!!

Quick and easy! I used Ro-tel tomatoes with chillies and I think it needed that little zing. Next time I would cook the frozen seafood (I used shrimps and scallops) separately first as they added a lot of liquid and so the sauce had to simmer quite a lot longer to reduce. This is a keeper though. Thanks Lori!
