  1. Why kids??? Leave it to adults! (Oops, not politically correct in our child-is-the king times…). I absolutely love the idea to combine my beloved scallops with asparagus I simply am crazy for. Thank you for the inspiration. I will check if they sell scallops (and affordable ones too…).

  2. This looks delicious. The fresh scallops are sold very expensive over here 😦 so we can’t have this often in our menu. I know what to do with it the next time I get forzen scallops from the supermarket 🙂 The asparaguses look perfectly cooked. Drooling now 🙂 Have a nice day !
