CURRIED SCALLOPS
This is my favourite recipe for curried scallops. It is creamy and rich, with a nice tangy flavour to the sauce. This is the mixture I use for my curried scallop pies, or you can just serve it over rice.

CREOLE SCALLOP CAKES
Experimenting in the kitchen is a passion of mine...a passion I hope to pass along to my daughter. One day I had some scallops and decided to concoct a scallop cake instead of a crab cake. This scrumptious appetizer can be prepared ahead of time. The cakes and aioli sauce can both be made the day before, and you can cook the cakes just before serving. Not only does this simplify last-minute prep, it allows the flavors to blend, making the dish even more yummy. My family and friends love my specialty scallop cakes.-Iisha Leftrdige-Brooks, Sacramento, California

Tips:
- Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen scallops. If you're using frozen scallops, thaw them completely before using.
- Dice the scallops finely. This will help them bind together better in the cakes.
- Use a food processor to make the curry paste. This will help to create a smooth, flavorful paste.
- Don't overcook the cakes. The scallops should be cooked through, but still tender and juicy. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or a simple lemon-butter sauce.
