Just to Clarify..I wasn't suggesting Fancy Recipes..with all the trimmings. My intent is to try to encourage people to try something NEW at home. Simple PREPS.

The other day I bought a box of frozen "Yankee Trader" Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. We ignored the cooking recomendations on the box and Broiled them on a broiler pan...with the slots....so the bacon grease drips away. ..about 10 minutes total...turning once..lay them on their sides..and Watch them. When the bacon browns on one side to your satisfaction..turn them over. We are older so eat less than a younger person. We found that 5 wrapped scalops each was enough...maybe 6 each per person.

Today we picked up some more..THIS time FRESHLY made up.. from our local fish market..already wrapped. This market had previously advised us to BROIL. Tonight they were excellent. The were noticibly more expensive ($14/dozen) than the "Boxed" scallops..but we will do the fresh again.

NB

This part you can improvise: We did wild rice and green beans with sautéed... (Olive oil, Garlic, Dill, "Can't Believe It's Not Butter") Fresh mushrooms.
