Greek Baked Scallops Santorini

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Did you know that today is National Baked Scallops Day? And what a recipe I have here for you.

I first came to know this dish as a shrimp baked with feta recipe. But I have since found out that it is called Santorini, after the Greek Island Santorini, and is basically the local specialty no matter what kind of seafood you pop into it, be it shrimp, scallops, fish and whatnot.

I could eat this by itself, but it also pairs very well with rice and pasta, although when dieting now I like to serve this sort of thing with cauliflower rice.

In some ways the flavors are a little bit like scampi. I’d generally pair this kind of thing with a Chardonnay, and perhaps a side of salad, and if you were not having rice or pasta, maybe some fava beans sprinkled with a little cheese. Of course, I’m not getting into Greek appies and desserts, as the list is so long of so many good choices…

But this is pretty quick to cook up, so it’s perfect for a weeknight. I actually did not use *any* oil at the beginning with the onion, but just relied on nonstick spray and I was fine, but that’s up to you.
