Saucy Shrimp & Scallops

Who says Mondays are no fun, we have another recipe from Uncle Mike & this one sounds AMAZING! Uncle Mike shares one of my addictions, feta cheese. While this recipe would most certainly give you bad breath, I think it sounds like a perfect meal to have an at home date with your love. (Maybe that is because I am married & Matt always has gum) Most people drink white wine with seafood but the combination of the feta & the sun dried tomatoes would be delicious with a Spanish Red like the bottle we drank over the weekend: 2003 Vilosell, it was a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet, Garnacha and Merlot.
