Seafood Casserole Plus My Recipe For Easy Garlic Parmesan Sauce
Living near the coast of Maine, we enjoy lots of fresh seafood year round. Though summer is my favorite with all of those lobster pounds steaming up clams, crab and lobster, I also like white fish so bake with it a lot in the winter. Especially since our summers are so short!
Now, scallops… those are my weakness. I can purchase a pound of the largest sea scallops when they are at their highest market price ( about $20) and not think twice about it. For recipes such as this one I used the smaller scallops that were available. The ones I purchased for this recipe are bigger than Bay scallops, but not quite as big as usual. You can use Bay scallops of course if that is all you can find. Additionally, if all your market has is sea scallops those are fine, just cut them in half.
This recipe includes my homemade garlic parmesan sauce which you will see is the absolute easiest, versatile, most delicious sauce ever. Once you make it, you will use it for everything. It is also a lot less fattening than traditional Alfredo sauce.
