    These are fantastic! You won't be disappointed. Be sure and use unsalted butter. There is plenty of salt in the cajun seasoning.

    Decadent and SO Easy!May 09, 2009 By Cooks4Two
    Oh, my! This is divine and incredibly fast and easy to prepare. I used a 12-oz. package of bay scallops and cut the grits recipe in half to serve hubby and myself, and it came out just right. I substituted fat-free half-and-half for the cream, and because bay scallops are so small (and thus cook in half the time), I added the butter to the olive oil instead of trying to dip the babies. Brussels sprouts and garlic toast were great accompaniments. The whole meal was ready in about 15 minutes. If I owned a restaurant, I'd serve this dish. Wonderful!

    I love shrimp and grits, however, I had never thought about scallop and grits. What a combination!

    FABULOUS!!!August 03, 2007 By ahockle
    This recipe is FABULOUS!!! I have made it several times for different people and everyone has LOVED it! They all say it takes like something you would order at a fancy restaurant! I recommend using half salted butter and half unsalted. The first time I used all salted and it was a little too mjuch for my taste...the second time I used all unsalted and I thought it needed a little more, but everytime since then I have used half of each and it has been perfect! I like to serve it with roasted asparagus and bread (I used french most of the time). I highly recommend this recipe! It is GREAT!!!
