I, too, am allergic to scallops and try to vary the Coquilles St. Jacques recipe to accommodate me. I do prepare "Coquilles" for dinner guests, prepare the same sauce, substitute the scallops for shrimp, lobster, mahi mahi, or other thick firm fish. This recipe is an excellent variation on a popular theme. Quite simple to prepare; the flavour is lovely. I have transferred this recipe to my cook book. Thanks for the variation.
