I channel my inner Thai for a thing like this and reach in all directions for elements that will stimulate every type of taste bud receptor that I can think of, set them against each other competitively to heighten the experience, example, salt heightens sugar and sugar heightens savory while battling bitter and balancing sour, capsaicin strikes with prickly heat and shoots through things like arrows, so I use all that, sit back and enjoy the war. The war can be toned down to a boisterous battle and the boisterous battle can be toned down to a loud party but the idea stays the same.
Having said all that, this was mild.
Bacon goes well with scallops and shrimp, the bacon grease is drained off and a measured amount combined with butter for the oil portion of the sauce. Spices are heated in the oil with a small amount of flour for a light roux, wine is added with chicken stock, finally the shrimp sectioned scallops are added.
