Sizzling Prawns & Scallops
Lovely prawns and scallops in a mouth watering sauce which is delicious mopped up with some crusty bread. Listen to the sizzle as its served up on a sizzling plate! It seems like a lot of ingredients but is definitely worth it. Use as many prawns and/or scallops as you see fit. Can adjust sauce to suit number of guests - e.g. double the amounts to serve 4. Once you've made it once you will have a better feel for how far the sauce will go around.
