The Great Scallop Fiasco of 2010!

I got some Pampered Chef Spicy Pinapple Rum Sauce and wanted to give it a spin. I pick up some chicken, some pork, and thought "what the hell, they've got scallops" so I got some of them too (frozen at WalMart, probably my first & second mistakes). I have never cooked any scallops before, I'm not even sure I have ever eaten them, but I marinated all three meats overnight in the sauce (separately, of course). I tried to skewer the devils but they were too small (100-200/lb). So I read that you can roll them in breadcrumbs and deep fry them. How can you go wrong with deep frying? I envisioned little cripsy nuggets drenched in pineapple sauce, like Spicy Orange Chicken, here's what I got :lol: ;

The breading didn't stick - I pitched 'em. Fortunately, it was only half a pound - now I have to figure out what to do with the other half pound of frozen tiny scallops :D

The Spicy Pineapple Chicken and Pork turned out great though - served with Basmati Rice, steamed Asian Veggies, and Grilled Fresh Pineapple
