This sweet and spicy seafood combo gives off enough heat to make the whole family warm up to its great flavors! Be sure to buy the larger sea scallops for this recipe; cooking times would be off for the smaller bay scallops. —Nicole Filizetti, Jacksonville, Florida

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.

Light-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Very nice! While we liked it as written, next time I think we will make it with shrimp.
