Seafood Symphony

My niece, Tonya, and husband Rodney, invited us to dinner on Saturday night.  Wow, what a treat!  We knew the food and company would be fabulous, as usual.  I think it could be best described as a Seafood symphony.

We started the evening with  fresh bacon-wrapped scallops, roasted in the oven to perfection.  The bacon was nice and crispy, leaving the scallops still nice and juicy...........


Jumbo shrimp, with a nice tangy seafood sauce for dipping............


 and hubby brought along some fresh mussels that he had steamed in beer, onions and fresh green pepper....


The appetizers washed down well with some great white wine.  We all sat around the kitchen, chatting and having too much fun, when Rodney started to prepare the main course.....fresh salmon......he did a simple pan-fry...........


and, as always, cooked it to perfection.........


Along with Tonya's version of roasted potatoes......


We all had a magnificent feast.......but wait, it wasn't all done yet........

Who can resist a dollop of whipped cream dripping from the beater like that??!!!??
Tonya made a nice light dessert, of fresh chopped fruit and berries with whipped cream, served in milk and white chocolate tarts.  Did I say Yummmmy?

It truly was a meal fit for a king.......Thanks you guys!!!!!
Cheers :)
