To my fellow seafood lover, try this recipe sometime (courtesy of damndelicious.net):

Bacon Scallops with Garlic Butter Sauce

Crisp bacon, tender-melt-in-your mouth scallops with the most heavenly butter sauce. So fancy yet so easy!

Print Recipe

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 1 pound scallops
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat; reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
2. Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Season scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, add scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and translucent in the center, about 1-2 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
3. Melt butter in the skillet. Add garlic, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in bacon and scallops.
4. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Dear IG,

I must tell you, I was telling my daughter last night what a fun conversation you and I had about seafood, and the various fish etc. we talked about.  She said to me, "What?  Mom you should have told IG we also love having scallops together!"  WE DO!

You must have been reading my mind

Thank you so much for the scallops recipe, it's decadent and delicious, I can tell by the ingredients and cannot wait to try it!

OK, we have a dinner decision. lol.

We decided to go with one of our favorite meals that we've loved over the years and don't have that often:  clam spaghetti (basically pasta, butter & a little olive oil, minced garlic, clam juice, lemon juice, flat leaf parsley) and a Caesar salad with hearts of Romaine.

And a special bakery decadent brownie each, champagne throughout the meal.

Love it!

A great dinner! The appetizer is oysters on the half shell, the entree is linguine with clam sauce made with fresh clams in the shell (not the yucky ones from a can), lots of garlic, white wine, fresh parsley, and olive oil, a salad with Bibb lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, red onion, and olives with homemade vinaigrette dressing, and ciabatta bread. Dessert is an assortment of Italian cookies and gelato. Prosecco will be served with the oysters and Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio will be served with the dinner.
