This rich satisfying dish, adapted from a recipe given to me by a friend, is my husband's favorite. I usually serve it on his birthday. It's loaded with scallops, shrimp and crab in a creamy sauce. I consider this the "crown jewel" in my repertoire of recipes. —Elena Hansen, Ruidoso, New Mexico

Tip

Scallops

A member of the bivalve mollusk family, scallops are commonly found in two groups---the sea scallop, yielding 10-20 per pound, or the much smaller bay scallop, yielding 60-90 per pound. Scallops are usually available shucked, sold fresh or frozen and range in color from pale beige to creamy pink. Scallops can be broiled, grilled, pan-fried or deep-fried and cook in a matter of minutes.

Full-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier.

I was looking for a quick and tasty recipe for our housewarming dinner (5 adults, 2 kids). Can I just say that this recipe was amazing. Not a labour of love like other lasagna recipes. There was plenty for everyone including left overs. I will definitely make this again.

I use another reviewers suggestion: double the chicken broth and half the clam juice, and 4 spring onions, and black pepper instead of white (didn't have any). I also added a tablespoon of lemon juice to the seafood. Very nice recipe.

This was phenomenal! I would certainly make this again. I followed the recipe and had nothing but compliments:)

This was very yummy. The only change made to the recipe was 1 cup of chicken broth & 1/2 cup of clam juice because other commented about the fishy taste. Also more seasoning to taste that noted.

I made this last night and my guests couldn't get enough of it and asked for the recipe. Six of us ate the whole plan! I served it with a salad and herbed bread. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The sauce was creamy and smooth. I found out that bay scallops (the small ones) are sweeter than the big scallops (which tend to be tasteless). I made it in the morning and cooked it at night. Next time I'll try making it the night before just because I like to do as much as possible beforehand. It was easy to make. My husband can't wait for me to make it again.

I cut this recipe in half, mostly, to fit in an 8"x8" square Pyrex pan. Used a 12-oz. bag of frozen shrimp, half a pound of bay scallops, and 8 oz. of "Lobster Delights" (some sort of surimi). Flavored the cream sauce with a couple tablespoons of dry white wine. Served with garlic bread and a green salad with raspberry vinaigrette. Quite excellent!

I have made this many times and had rave reviews. Have even baked ahead and froze. Still was excellent! If you don't want to spend the money for scallops you can use more shrimp/imitationcrab.

Tastes great! I used real clam, not imitation. It did take quite some time to prepare but was worth it.
