Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 3 scallions, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces sea scallops, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
• 8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) Southwest-flavored stewed tomatoes, pureed in food processor

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 20 mins

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and coat a nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cook scallions and garlic in prepared skillet over medium heat for 1 minute, then add scallops and shrimp. Cook for 2 more minutes, then add 2/3 cup tomatoes and 1 tablespoon half and half. Stir to combine, then pour into a bowl and keep warm.
