Shrimp & Scallops Over Rice
4 cups cooked rice
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. olive oil
8 oz. shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz. bay scallops
1 heaping Tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large frying pan heat olive oil. Add shrimp, scallops and garlic. Cook 4-5 minutes or until shrimp is no longer pink. With a slotted spoon remove shrimp and scallops. Whisk cream cheese into the juices from the shrimp and scallops. Add to cream cheese, shrimp, scallops and rice. Pour into a baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serves 6-8
Comments - For my rice I used instant but you can, of course, use any rice you might like. The flavor of the finished product is a combination of Shrimp Scampi and Shrimp and Grits. Changes you might add would be a little nutmeg and maybe a splash of Sherry. Also, you can serve this over grits. It's rich, creamy and delicious!
