    I have made this dish several times the only changes I made were no Saffron and I added heavy cream to the sauce. The heavy cream added so much more flavor to the dish. My husband loves it, he said it was like eating at a fine sea food restaurant. Make sure you slowly whisk in the cream.

    I followed the recipe almost exactly -- used green onions instead of shallots and seafood broth instead of chicken. I served it over rice. My husband and I had 2 servings each and there is still enough for lunch tomorrow. I will definitely make this dish again.

    I used a half pound each of shrimp and scallops (one pound total instead of two, reduced the olive oil to 1 tablespoon and the butter to 1 teaspoon, served it over whole wheat linguine and there was loads for four people. It was just wonderful. Also reduced the red pepper flakes to 1/4 teaspoon.

    This is a must do recipe, My whole family loves it. I've made it a couple of times now and it's been great every time. I didn't have the saffron and made it and it was still D'lish.

    I downloaded this receipe several years ago out of curiosity. I have to say it is a first request of family and friends. I usually add my own likes to a receipe but this one needs no altering........it's a total creation sensation.

    I have prepared this dish several times.
    A relative liked it so much she took the recipe home with her.
    Fortunatly I was able to find it here again. If you haven't tried this dish it is a must! This proves great food does not have to be complicated.

    I made this for dinner tonight, Every last bite was eaten!! My 5 year old nephew loved it and wanted seconds, and my two year old son loved the sauce over saffron infused minute rice ( I just threw a few threads of saffron (1/4 tsp in the boiling water and it complemented this dish wonderfully! I did cut the chili flakes by 1/2 because I did not want it to be too spicy for the kids, and I didn't have any shallots on hand so I used some chopped onion instead. I highly reccomend this and will make again very soon. It's so easy and my mom and sister were so impressed. Looks beautiful when plated also.

    This recipe is fabulous. Prep everything in advance, the scallops and shrimp cook quickly.

    We only used half pound of scallops because of $$$, but turned out great.

    Next time, we might add a little salt and a little tomato paste to the recipe.

    Oh, and we served with angel hair pasta.

    Perfecto!
