Notes

Tips for making Scallop Stuffed Mushrooms
  1. Use sea scallops, but if you must use bay scallops, reduce the time to 5 minutes when you add the butter and put them back in the oven (so a total of 15 minutes)
  2. Use good sized mushrooms, but not too big
  3. I like using  a combination of baby Portobello mushrooms as well as white mushroom
  4. I clean the mushrooms with a paper towel, making sure I get all the dirt off. I never use water as it makes the mushrooms slimy
  5. You can let the scallops cool after you take the stuffing mix out of the oven, but I don’t, I just cut up the scallops in the baking dish
  6. You will probably have left over scallop stuffing mix. I spread it on a piece of toast.  You must too
  7. You can freeze the scallop stuffing mix, if you don’t want to eat it
