  This dish was perfect for a lighter Saturday evening dinner. The preparation beforehand made it a breeze to bake after putting the children to bed. Sprinkle a small handful of grated cheese on for the last minute or so and make sure the scallops and prawns don't lay on top of each other or it will take longer to bake. We didn't use all the herb butter but it will not last long in our house. Next time I will mix in the breadcrumbs, per the recipe, so they are more evenly distributed. A small side of spaghetti pasta with a dusting of parmesan cheese, sliced baguette, and a glass chardonnay rounded out the meal. It would also go nicely on top of wilted spinach. We will definitely make this again and add a side of arugula/rocket salad for some tangy peppery crunch.

  Made this as a starter for a dinner party with warm ciabbatta bread. Everyone loved it. Didn't halve the scallops and used more seafood than the recipe states to use up the bag of prawns and trays of scallops I had bought at the supermarket. Stuck to the recipe for the other ingredients. This was a simple and very tasty recipe which I will definitely make again.
