This is yet another dish borne of my desire to keep weekly meal planning interesting. I grabbed frozen shrimp and scallops, as well as fresh baby spinach and sweet baby tomatoes while grocery shopping with a quick saute like this one in mind. But after coming across this broil method, I adapted it to make my meal prep situation even easier. It turns out that sheet pan shrimp & scallops are an elegant option for date night or entertaining but also easy enough to make on any given weeknight no matter how little time you have to spare. After a few minutes of prep, everything cooks up to perfection in only five minutes under your oven’s broiler. In that short amount of time, your kitchen will be filled with mouthwatering fragrance. And the result tastes as perfect as the aroma. The shrimp is juicy and perfectly cooked. The scallops are buttery. And the flavors are completely on point. Serve this over pasta or rice or pair with your favorite veggies.
