Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 1/2 pounds bay scallops
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 (17 1/4-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Garnish: asparagus spears, lime strips, lemon strips, and orange strips
Method
- Cut asparagus diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Melt butter in a skillet; add asparagus, and saute 2 minutes. Add sherry, and cook 1 minute. Spoon evenly into 5 1/2-inch scallop baking shells; top evenly with scallops, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roll puff pastry to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 (6 1/2-inch) rounds; place rounds over scallop shells, pressing edges to seal. Brush with egg. Cut leaves from remaining pastry; brush with egg, and place on shells. Cut slits in tops, and place shells on a baking sheet.
