Hot Scallop Salsa Dip

  based on a crab recipe from Rick Rodgers' Thanksgiving 101 - Target then keep looking this great recipe up each time someone asks for it, putting it here where family can find it for themselves. We love this with crudités: romanesco broccoli, purple cauliflower, golden turnips (when we can find them) , cucumbers and then the usual carrots and celery.


Position rack in the center of oven and preheat to 350°. 

Drain in wire sieve

1 cup chunky tomato salsa

In a round 1-qt baking dish, work in with a rubber spatula until combined with 

Two 8-oz packages cream cheese

½ cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

 Stir in

1 pound fresh scallops (or thawed frozen)

Season with

Hot red pepper sauce

Sprinkle over the top

⅓ cup fresh bread crumbs, from good day-old bread

Bake until bubbling, about 30 minutes.  Serve hot with tortilla chips and vegetables.
