Note
Do not overcook the scallops, as they can become tough and rubbery. They are done when opaque and firm to the touch.
For a vegan version, omit the shrimp and scallops and add extra vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to the sauce.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the tomato sauce simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes before adding the seafood.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid toughening the seafood.
