🧾 Final Thoughts: Double the Flavor, Double the Fun

Shrimp and scallops together create a seafood powerhouse — elegant enough for dinner parties, simple enough for weeknights. Whether skewered, tossed in pasta, or folded into risotto, they cook in minutes and always deliver rich, buttery flavor.

Pro tip: Stagger the cooking — scallops need a golden sear, shrimp just need to turn pink. Cook separately, then combine for the perfect balance.
