Scallop and Clam Stuffing

This is sinfully delicious!  High in calories, yet easy to make.  I made this as an accompaniment to broiled tilapia and steamed green beans.  Delish!  








2 lbs bay scallops
1  1/2 teaspoon minced dried onions
12 tablespoons butter
3 cups crushed Ritz crackers
2 tablespoons water
2/3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Ground pepper to taste
2 cans minced clams (reserve juice)

• Melt butter and add dried onions, crackers, water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, pepper and drained clams.  Mix together and remove from heat
• Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray and place half of the mixture into the dish
• Place washed scallops on top
• Place the rest of the stuffing mixture on top of the scallops
• Evenly disperse clam juice over mixture
• Sprinkle with paprika
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes
