It was incredibly delicious that I couldn&#8217;t wait any longer to share the recipe with you all. Delicious would be an understatement. I am in need of a new word to describe this silky, creamy dish. How about if I say it&#8217;s incredibilicious??? I feel better now. Anything that has shrimp and scallops are my favorites even if it doesn&#8217;t taste that delicious, I can handle just the taste of shrimp and scallops. Now, if it tastes delicious and if it has shrimp and scallops; I will get greedy and wild and what not&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Malai&#8221; \u00a0is a hindi word which means &#8220;cream&#8221;. Usually, cream is added for making malai dishes, but in this dish coconut milk is added that&#8217;s what I liked the most. An incredibly delicious dish that will make your taste buds go wild n wild.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14735\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Shrimp-scallop-Malai.jpg\" alt=\"Shrimp-scallop Malai\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Shrimp-scallop-Malai.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Shrimp-scallop-Malai-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Shrimp-scallop-Malai-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step By Step Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saut\u00e9ing shrimp and Scallops<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14737\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai1.jpg\" alt=\"making shrimp scallop malai\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Making the creamy sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14738 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/shrimp-scallops-malai.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/shrimp-scallops-malai.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/shrimp-scallops-malai-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/shrimp-scallops-malai-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adding cooked shrimp and scallops to the sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14736\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai.jpg\" alt=\"making-shrimp scallop malai\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/making-shrimp-scallop-malai-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Shrimp-Scallop-Malai.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Shrimp and Scallops Malai &#8211; Shrimp and Scallops in creamy Coconut Sauce<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Curry<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Shrimp, deveined- 10, medium-sized<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Scallops- 6 large or 10 small<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Butter- 1 tbsp + 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion paste- 4 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger-garlic paste- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dried red chili flakes- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomato paste- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut milk- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garam masala- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a bowl, combine shrimp and scallops with turmeric powder and salt.
