Shirley's Baked Scallops and Shells
"My wonderful mom turns 91 on July 11th and she is still a very independent lady, who loves to create her own recipes. She made this dish the other night, and it was delicious. She was so proud when I told her that I was going to share the recipe with everyone on Food.com."

Great recipe...I was concerned as the only white clam sauce I could find was the clear kind, not a creamy sauce and did not know if I had the right kind. But it tasted great and was light and satisfying! -
This is an excellent recipe! I had to use the small macaroni from a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese as I didn't have the shells. I made a smaller amount because I only had 4 oz. of scallops. It was rich and creamy and had a great taste. I did use the optional parmesan cheese. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2011.
