Venetian Shrimp and Scallops image

I saw this recipe made on 30 Minute Meals. These shrimp and scallops in the light tomato broth are delicious. I've even made this without the saffron (with a touch more garlic and spice) and it was still full of flavor. I substitute vegetable broth for the chicken, but feel free to add it back if you prefer.

This was a disaster! The sauce was curdled and the seafood was overcooked.

This was a great recipe! I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The sauce was especially good.

The shrimp and scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the seafood for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a little too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less butter and cream.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The seafood is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so good that I could drink it.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.
