1 tbsp. chives, chopped
1/4 sea salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
12 sweet peppers, halved with tops, seeds, membranes removed
Shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Saute garlic for about 1 minute.
Add scallops and saute for several minutes until firm.
Add green onions, chives, salt and pepper and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Top each halved sweet pepper with scallop mixture and arrange in shallow baking dish.
Top each halved pepper with a smattering of shredded cheese.

A Seamaiden's Coral Shawl


My latest crochet creation was inspired by this Goddess Shawl pattern. With some design modifications, I transformed it into a true Seamaiden original! And it was achieved using only 1 skein of Bernat Softee Baby yarn in soft peach.
