Garlic Shrimp and Scallops
Eating shrimp and scallops is a great way to get your recommended amount of essential fatty acids. Garlic is heart-healthy, too, and adds a great deal of flavor without a lot of fat.

In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until it begins to brown. Remove the garlic with a
slotted spoon and set aside. Add the pepper flakes to the skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Add the garlic, shrimp, scallops, and paprika. Saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the chicken broth and cook for 1 minute. Remove the shrimp and scallops with a slotted spoon, place on a platter; set aside and keep warm.
