3 cups cooked rice

2 tbs olive oil

1 small green pepper, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 jar Here's to the Cook! Creole Finishing Sauce

½ lb. medium shrimp, cleaned and deveined

½ lb. scallops, cleaned and deveined

Cooking Steps

Mix shrimp and scallops together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cook rice according to instructions.

In a large skillet or a Dutch Oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add green pepper and celery and sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 7-10 minutes. Add tomatoes and Creole Sauce; simmer until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and scallops. Cover pot and gently simmer until seafood is cooked through, about 8-12 minutes (shrimp will be white throughout and scallops will be slightly translucent in center).

Serve over rice or add rice to pot and mix well. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or additional green peppers.
