SEARED DIGBY SCALLOP CAESAR SALAD WITH LOW FAT DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk first 10 ingredients together well and set aside so the flavors can develop for 15 minutes. Dry off scallops and sear off in a little olive oil, a minute on one side, 30 seconds on the other side -- you don't want to overcook them! Toss lettuce with croutons and parmesan cheese. Top with scallops.

In a bowl toss the shrimp and the scallops with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and grill them in a ridged grill pan or on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the scallops are opaque. Transfer the shell fish to the large bowl, add the romaine and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan, and toss the salad well. Divide the salad between 2 plates and sprinkle the croutons and 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining Parmesan over each serving.
