Recipe Tip
Wish for Fish
Shellfish, such as scallops and shrimp, are good sources of vitamin B12—a vitamin that helps breakdown foods and so we can use them for energy.

wow
I made this for my husband and me last Friday. I used 1/2 pound scallops and 1/2 pound peeled shrimp. It was really really good. I used the dried tarragon which added nice flavor and served it over brown rice. I will make this repeatedly...a definite winner! Tastes decadent without killing my chance at weight maintenance! Thanks and keep recipes like this one coming!

Newburg
Fabulous, however, I used sea scallops, cut in fourths. Sorry, But I really do not like bay scallops. I also added a couple spoonfuls of dry sherry.

Delish
I agree - this recipe was wonderful. It's pretty versatile too as I think shrimp would work well in place of the scallops.

Absolutly Amazing!
This is, without exaggeration, one of the BEST things I have ever tasted. I served it over noodles and sauteed garlic. The noodles absorbed the juice from the newburg. If you are looking to impress friends, serve this dish. You could charge $16 for it in a restaurant. The only thing I did differently is I made 6 servings and put in all in one baking dish. I increased the baking time to about 15 minutes. Delicious!

I made this recipe a few nights ago for a special seafood night with my husband and it was delicious! The flavors of the ingredients all went so well with eachother. I had never tried fresh tarragon before, so I wasn't sure if we'd both like it, but it definately makes the dish taste great. Nice work on yet another great recipe!!
