Roasted Scallops or Shrimp With Tomato

"A lovely recipe for shellfish lovers to have on hand for a small dinner get-together. Great with "Sauce Choron"! If you prep the fresh tomatoes and seafood ahead of time it goes together quickly. I first made this for best friends & it was an instant hit. Good with angel hair pasta. Notes: You want peeled, deveined shrimp, preferably extra-large or large. If scallops, sea or bay scallops. I like to omit the ground cayenne and substitute 2 tsp. ("Flora" brand) Hot Crushed Peppers."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Have your shrimp (large or X-large, peeled & deveined) or scallops (either sea scallops or bay scallops) drained and patted dry. You can also use frozen shrimp, thawed.
  • Set the seafood aside in the refrigerator until the tomato layer is prepared and roasted THROUGH step 6.
  • Seed and chop the fresh plum tomatoes. Mix them together with the rest of the ingredients for the Tomato Layer.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in a gratin or other shallow baking dish suitable for high heat.
  • Roast @ 500 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until bubbly.
  • Remove the gratin from the oven and layer your seafood on top.
  • Return to the oven and continue roasting until the shrimp are pink, or the scallps are opaque on the outside but still translucent in their centers; about 5-10 minutes.
  • Garnish with minced fresh parsley, and serve very hot with "Sauce Choron" (see my recipe) and angel hair pasta if you like.

  1. This is a very easy recipe but it is very impressive in taste and looks! I've cooked this many times now, and have a lot of requests to cook it more often! Roasting the tomato sauce gives it a really hearty depth, and when you serve it with the sauce Choron, this makes a really filling dinner! YUM!!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am the Mom of "A la Carte" and her sister, and grandmother (hence "Gammy") of two GREAT kids! (Aren't they all?) I've always enjoyed cooking & baking and have been getting lots of great ideas from Recipe Zaar. My DH & I live in a rural area with our dog & cat, and we spend lots of time with family & friends which is our most cherished recreational activity! Aside from that we love it when we find time for get-aways near or far. We like hiking, X-C skiing, snow shoeing, and summer vacations in Maine were a family tradition for many years. We love to read, travel, and garden (well, me anyway!) We're into wildlife in general, and avid birders here at home - or far afield, when we get the chance. I learned to cook from my mother & grandmother, who were constantly trying out new recipes along with preparing old family favorites. Now that our own daughters are grown and great cooks themselves, rarely a day goes by that one or the other of us doesn't share a new recipe or call with a cooking question! We all do a lot of improvising & also like many different cuisines. I have a gazillion cookbooks but if there's one cookbook I couldn't live without, it would be the old standby "Joy of Cooking". My mother in law gave me my first copy when we were first married, and an updated edotion a few years ago.
