INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 pound bay scallops
  • 1/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic, divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 large tomato - peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro or additional parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • dash cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch ground turmeric
  • 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 8 ounces phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large skillet, saute scallops, shrimp and 1/2 teaspoon garlic in 1 tablespoon oil for 2 minutes or until seafood is opaque. With a slotted spoon, remove from the pan and coarsely chop; set aside. In the same skillet, combine the tomato, onion and remaining garlic and oil; simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne and turmeric. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in seafood mixture and bread crumbs.
  2. Cut the phyllo dough into 14-in. x 4-1/2-in. strips. Cover with a damp towel until ready to use. Lightly brush one strip with butter. Top with another strip; brush with butter. Place a tablespoonful of seafood mixture near one short side; fold in the long sides and roll up. Brush lightly with butter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

These are absolutely wonderful! Don't be intimadated by the long list of ingredients, they are mostly spices. The combination of seafood and spice was perfect. They were not "fishy" at all. The use of phyllo dough and baking them makes these much healthier than regular egg rolls. The whole family loved them.
