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

I have made this recipe quite a few times and every time is a success.

Everybody loves it.

As a side note: I also add lobster meat, usually an 8oz package.

BEST DINNER EVER!

Incredible! My husband complained that I don't cook for him the same fancy meals I used to and was hoping this would redeem myself! It sure did! I added spinach as suggested by another user, and also a touch of fresh dill (personal preference), and it was just right!

This was an excellent recipe!! This recipe is now my husbands favorite. It was easy to make, but it did take me a little longer than 35 min. to make it. It was worth it though, because it was absolutely delicious. I am going to make this when I have my next dinner party. This is definitely a keeper.

This is a well put together recipe. I followed it to the letter and I did find the sauce a bit too pasty (maybe less flour next time) and bland. It needs more seasoning. Only salt and pepper was called for in the recipe, but I would definitely experiment with other spices as well and up the green onions from 1 to like 4.

I followed the recipe exactly and it was very good. I think the next time I make it I will use a linguine noodle instead.
