Adapted from the "Joy of Cooking" by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer
Becker and Ethan Becker (copyright 1997 Simon & Schuster, $30) Prepare a
medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler. Make sure the
grill rack is clean and place it as close to the heat source as possible.
Mix together in a serving bowl part "A".

Place on the grill or under the broiler as close to the heat as possible.
Turn the shrimp after the first side becomes pink, 2 minutes or so; turn
the scallops when the first side becomes opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Grill or
broil until the second side is pink or opaque; test one of the pieces by
cutting into it to make sure it is cooked through. Add the hot shellfish to
the herb mixture, toss gently, and serve immediately.
