This is a great recipe for those busy nights because you basically throw it all into a baking dish and let it do it's thing!
Scallops and shrimps are low in calories and high in protein. I buy scallops and shrimps frozen and keep them in the freezer for fast dinner preparation.
Jon was held up in the emergency room with a student last night while he was on duty, so this was a great recipe to whip up, throw in a Tupperware and serve in the hospital waiting room!
Baked Seafood Medley

- Deep (corningware type) baking dish with lid
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups of large frozen shrimp
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups frozen scallops

- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- carrots, chopped (could also be a bell pepper)
- 2 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- Preheat over to 375F
- Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of baking dish
- Throw in frozen shrimp and scallops, green beans, red onion, garlic, carrots, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover
- Bake at 375 for 45 minutes
- Serve over quinoa or rice
It was great for lunch today too! Play around with the quantities depending on the number of people you are serving. We like to have leftovers, so we added more scallops and shrimp for extra protein.
Hint: To quickly remove skin from garlic, place flat surface of knife over garlic clove and give it a little wack. You will see that it will slide right off.
Make healthy choices!
