Lemon Butter Dill Bay Scallops, Stuffed Clam, and Baked Potato

Dinner Tonight: Lemon Butter Dill Bay Scallops, Stuffed Clam, and Baked Potato




No Breakfast this morning. I had to fast overnight and had to be at the Hospital at 6:45 this morning. I had to sit there for an hour and drink the solution they give you before you have Scans made, that's

the worst part. I had my yearly Scans for Melanoma done. I've been Cancer free sine 2004 but I still get nervous taking the Scans, I guess I always will. But It's better safe than sorry, as they say. I'll get the results next week. I stopped by the ATM and then stopped and got gas before heading home. Mostly cloudy out today and 51 degrees with rain moving in overnight and Saturday. Did a few things around the house and then took an afternoon nap later. For Dinner tonight a Seafood Fest! I prepared Lemon Butter Dill Bay Scallops, Stuffed Clam, and Baked Potato.



I purchased some beautiful looking Bay Scallops from Kroger the day before. Rinsed them in cold
water and stored them in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag, kept them in the fridge until ready to use. I'll need some McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Grinder Peppercorn Medley along with McCormick Fat Free Lemon Butter Dill Seafood Sauce, McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and Extra Light Olive Oil.







To prepare them I preheated a medium size skillet that I had sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and added 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil, heated it on medium heat. As the Skillet heated I

seasoned the Bay Scallops with the Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. When the Skillet was ready I added my Scallops. Next I added a 1/4 cup of the McCormick Fat Free Lemon Butter Dill Seafood Sauce, stirred making sure all the Scallops were covered in the Sauce. Cooked them for a total of 4 minutes, stirring often. The Bay Scallops came out delicious! Scallops are so meaty and taste so fresh. The  McCormick Fat Free Lemon Butter Dill Seafood Sauce was the perfect Sauce for them. You can taste the Lemon, Butter, and Dill in it and it's Fat Free! Should go great on Tilapia, Cod, or Shrimp.



As the Bay Scallops were cooking I prepared the Stuffed Clam. I purchased these at Seafood

Department at Kroger. They are Matlaw Stuffed Clams (Brand) that they have in the Seafood Case. We have these every so often now,we love them! For my Stuffed Clams I preheated the oven on 425 degrees. Lined a small baking sheet with foil and placed the Clams on it. I sprinkled some Sea Salt on them and a drizzle of Lemon Juice. When the oven was ready I baked the Clams until heated through, about 25 minutes. Meaty and seasoned just right and the Louisiana Remoulade Sauce is perfect to dip it in. They go great with the Scallops. Plus they are only $1 per Clam. This and the bay Scallops make one delicious Seafood Dinner!

I also prepared a Baked Potato. Seasoned that with the McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.












Scallops
Why they're healthy: Scallops are more than 80 percent protein. "One 3-ounce serving provides 20
grams of protein and just 95 calories," says Bowden. They're also a good source of both magnesium and potassium. (Clams and oysters provide similar benefits.)

Matlaw’s Stuffed Clams

Set Sail for Something Different for Dinner Tonight!
It’s the dreaded question, “What’s for dinner tonight?” Instead of reaching for another steak, pork

chop, or that old standby, chicken nuggets for the kids, set sail for something different:
a bounty of delicious options from under the sea.

With families today looking for healthier and more flavorful meal options than ever before, seafood lovers young and old will enjoy discovering new items in the frozen seafood section that are convenient, affordable and tasty. That’s why, Matlaw’s, creator of America’s #1 Seafood Appetizer, has introduced a full line of products that the whole family will love.

From classic New England Style, Bacon and Cheese, Chorizo or Chili Lime Stuffed Clams served in a natural clam shell; to Crispy Original, Barbecue, or Coconut Popcorn Shrimp; and Southwest Tortilla Breaded Cod, Jalapeño Breaded Cod, or Pubstyle Battered Cod, these exciting new flavor combinations are sure to have family members asking for more every night of the week.

For many families the Stuffed Clams have become a favorite. Each natural clamshell is filled with a delectable matlaws breadcrumb stuffing with clams, green and red peppers, and delicate spices, and individually frozen to insure freshness and flavor. They’re great on the grill and so easy to prepare. Instead of turning on the oven and heating up the kitchen, simply wrap in a foil “boat” and place right on the grill on medium heat for 25 minutes. Pair with a crunchy green salad and top with butter and lemon, (or a dash of hot sauce for the truly adventurous), is all it takes to satisfy the family.
