Shrimp and Scallops with Garlic
Description
This appetizer comes together quickly and easily. If you love the taste of seafood, you should enjoy shrimp and sea scallops with garlic. They’re unlikely to work as a main course, but as an aperitif or hot appetizer—they’re perfect. Appetizers like these are very popular along the Mediterranean coast; I’ve tried them myself in Italy and loved them, especially since everything is really quite simple to make. Give them a try. Serve with fresh herbs and sauce.
