Both my husband and I agreed that microwaving seafood is just BAD...so we cooked the shrimp and scallops first then added the other ingredients. It was very good!!

This was delicious. Wonderful lemon & dill flavor. I did substitute Fusilli pasta. It was thicker & gave it more body. I eliminated the scallops tho as I am allergic to them. Can''t wait to serve it to company. Makes a lot.
