This is a very simple, classic way to prepare scallops. First I sprinkled them with kosher salt and pepper, then seared them in a hot skillet and finished with a little butter. I served them over sauteed spinach for dinner last night and it was to die for.

This recipe for Cajun shrimp is quick and easy. They make a great weeknight dinner and can also be a delicious appetizer if you are throwing a party. While they are tasty on their own, they are also great with a little melted butter or some cocktail sauce.
