jenneliza 257 Posted August 23, 2012 yay can't wait to make some! how many sea scallops were you able to tolerate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwiladydee 402 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm 2 1/2 months and Ivan only eat 2 large scallops. I can't believe they cost So much, they are a dollar a scallop! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moofish 27 Posted August 23, 2012 At Jenneliza: I ate 3 med. scallops, and they went down so well. The smooth textures of the pea & fruit helped, too. And Ladydee, yes they are pricy inland, but I buy them right off the boat where I live, so I don't pay anywhere near $1/per scallop. They are basically low fat pure Protein and so quick to prepare---the ultimate healthy fast food for me. They are also delicious raw. I make a "cocktail" with the diced scallops, avocado, watermelon, and pickled ginger....YuM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slowtogo 301 Posted August 23, 2012 Scallops rock!! They are one of my go to foods. High in Protein, easy to swallow, and at $1 a piece, no more than a lean cuisine for what we can eat now...lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLCoggin 1,788 Posted August 23, 2012 Sounds and looks fabulous! I second the request for the recipe! It is so easy to eat right why dident we do this before ??? Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12 Paul, I am right there with you. How amazing is this and why the heck did it take us so long to discover it? At almost eleven months out, I can honestly say that I enjoy eating as much or more than I ever did. I love the foods I eat. They are healthy. I'm not hungry all of the time. I don't feel deprived. I truly don't miss all of the crap I used to eat. I'm not suffering in any way. Just amazing!! 1 moofish reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwiladydee 402 Posted August 23, 2012 It is so easy to eat right why dident we do this before ??? Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12 Ive always ate scallops, just cooked in butter with sometype of bread around it. Now I'm eating it with just lemon, salt and pepper. Sometimes a little i can't believe it's not butter. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moofish 27 Posted August 23, 2012 Well, I don't really use recipes...I just made it up. In addition to being a teacher, I sometimes work as a private chef for a family that eats ONLY healthy food. Here's what I did: I pureed fresh garden peas (you could use frozen!) with a little sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce. I added home made chicken stock until it became the texture I wanted. Then I pureed a mango with lime juice, cilantro, Vietnamese chili garlic sauce, and rice wine vinegar. I seared the scallops in peanut oil. Be sure they are dry when you put them in the pan, and don't crowd them, otherwise they will steam and you won't get good caramelization. Frozen scallops do not sear well because they are full of Water...Plate it up and there you go. Even people who have not had WLS will love it...that is assuming they are lovers of seafood... 3 Ciaobella, jenneliza and DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you very much! I'm so happy that I will still be able to eat good, gourmet-ish meals that are WLS-friendly. My husband and boys are not fans of scallops, but I could probably substitute shrimp in this one very easily and make the whole family happy! 1 DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulB 346 Posted August 23, 2012 We love seafood and I'm always grilling broiling baking some type of seafood can't wait to try this as soon as I get to the soft food stage. Thanks Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsCook 38 Posted August 23, 2012 If you haven't already, try Chef Paul Prudhomme's "Seafood Magic" seasoning on broiled or baked fish, scallops, shrimp, almost any seafood. Available in most grocery stores' spice area. YUMMY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
