Hello, All!! I’m back! It has been a long while since my last post. Life has been so crazy the last couple of years, I haven’t had the time to post. I missed it so I’m going to make a bigger effort to get back in the blogging groove! 😊
My family really enjoys seafood so I try to make it at least once s week. Shrimp is our usual fare and I’ve publish quite a few recipes using shrimp, Tonight’s dinner was sea scallops which are my husband’s favorite! Scallops cook quickly when you pan sear them which makes timing sides a bit tricky. I found a baked recipe which I like because it takes 20 minutes without over cooking the scallops. It is super flavorful with Parmesan cheese and a nice mix of spices! Hope you try this recipe & enjoy it as much as we do!
