Spicy Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo

"This just came to me when trying to figure out what to do with 1 lb of large shrimp and about 10 large scallops! I used what I had in the fridge, and if I had some fresh mushrooms I would've added them also that is why they are optional in the ingredient list. The picture I took is actually from the day I created the dish"

  1. This recipe was wonderful. I had to substitute for ingredients I didn't have: for the whipping cream I used evaporated milk,the sun dried tomatoes I used fresh tomato, broccoli I used frozen French cut string beans. I thickened the whole recipe with 2 tablespoons of flour in 1/4 cup water at the end.Yummy!!!!
     
  2. This dish is absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe except I used small bay scallops and cooked them with the shrimp. I thought it might not be spicy enough but it was perfect. The recipe makes a generous 4 servings but the leftovers reheat very well . This a new favourite in my house!
