Seafood Coquille St. Jacques image

Pronounced (co-key-saint-jock) is a delicious appetizer or main course. It's easy to make and is simply a white sauce infused with seafood. You can add lobster or crab; serve in individual baking dishes or on a real scallop shell (sold in gourmet shops). It's fun and so good!
