No, I didn't cook it. I'm sure I could if I wanted to but I didn't. I
ordered it at the club. I had a glass of chardonnay while waiting for dinner. Seafood Linguini Scallops, shrimp and crabmeat with linguini tossed in basil-garlic pesto. Oh, and it was topped with freshly grated Parmesan. (Waiting for Sheldon to proclaim no cheese with seafood.) It was very tasty! The pesto was very nice. Not too garlicky. IOW it didn't overpower the seafood, it accented it. The nice sweet taste of the scallops still shone through. And the seafood was cooked to perfection. Nothing was overcooked or "rubbery", which is really easy to do when you're cooking this sort of thing. Jill |

Oh, and it was topped with freshly grated Parmesan. (Waiting for >Sheldon to proclaim no cheese with seafood.) Cheese was bad enough but crab is too fishy to accompany scallops and shrimp, and basil obliterates the mild flavor of scallop and shrimp. But all was fine served on them redneck kaiser rolls! LOL |

(I have no problem with that.) One of the servers alluded (obliquely) some of the fat-cats [my term] are notorious for not tipping. Jill |
