Carol’s Simple Seafood Salad

1 pound scallops
1 pound precooked large shrimp
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup yellow onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, diced
½ cup scallions, sliced
½ cup celery, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup mayonnaise (I use Smart Balance for the Omega 3s)
½ teaspoon salt

Melt butter in a large skillet and saute scallops, onions, and garlic until scallops are cooked. Toss in shrimp and saute a minute for flavor. Let cool. Combine cooled scallop and shrimp mixture with the rest of ingredients and mix well. Chill before serving.

This sounds wonderful. Do you know about how many minutes the scallops take to cook? I may go home from work and make this today.

Thanks Linda. I made it yesterday, but just used shrimp and halved everything else since I didn't want such a large amount. Very good! I'm going to go home from work this morning and eat some more of it.

Scallops can be a bit carby anyway but I do like them and eat them occasionally.

I actually prefer just shrimp myself but I had a bag of scallops in the freezer I had to get rid of. LOL. I end up making big batches of everything as my husband and son eat a lot!
