I made this tonight and it was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Next time I'll be using shrimp and scallops together and also had another thought about this recipe..... it would be GREAT as a stuffing for "stuffed" fish. Thanks so much for posting this gem!!!

You are in phase 2 right?
You could probably add the cooked spaghetti squash to the casserole or you can omit the brown rice in the recipe and then just serve spaghetti squash on the side.
