Recipe - Prawns And Scallops On The Half Shell

6 Scallop shells
Three fourths pound Medium prawns
Three fourths pound Bay scallops
1/3 cup White wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
One half cup Thinly cut or sliced up small
Mushrooms
2 tablespoon Whole wheat pastry flour
One half cup Nonfat or lowfat milk
1/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Wholewheat bread crumbs
Finely ground

1. Wash scallop shells and place on a cookie sheet. Preheat broiler.

2. Peel and devein prawns, then coarsely chop. Quarter bay scallops. In a
medium saucepan over mediumhigh heat, combine shellfish and wine and heat
until bubbling. Cook until scallops are opaque (about 1 minute), stirring
constantly. Drain and reserve cooking wine. Set scallops and prawns aside.

3. In the same pan, heat butter over medium heat and sauteed mushrooms
until they begin to exude moisture. If mixture gets too dry and begins to
stick, add a small amount of reserved cooking wine. Stir in flour and cook
for 2 minutes.

4. Add milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a whisk. Sauce
should thicken immediately. If it doesn't, continue to cook over medium
heat, stirring, until it is the consistency of heavy cream. Add Parmesan,
scallops, and prawns, and remove from heat.

5. Spoon an equal amount of seafood mixture into each scallop shell. Top
with bread crumbs and broil until lightly browned and bubbling (3 to 5
minutes). Serve hot (see Note).

Note: For easier service, fold a linen napkin under scallop shells to keep
them from tipping on the plate.
