Default Use for leftover scallops

I pan seared an entire pound of them yesterday. They'd been in my
freezer for a few months. I felt it was best to cook them all.

I adore scallops. But I cannot possibly eat an entire pound of them in
one sitting. Yes, I know I should have portioned them out into smaller
servings when I bought them. Don't ask me why I didn't because I don't
know.

So here's what I'm doing with the leftover (cooked, in case you missed
it) scallops tonight. I'm going to toss them in with some hot, cooked
penne pasta with a nice creamy alfredo sauce. Might add some canned
crab meat. Essentially, I'll be making a creamy seafood pasta dish.
Herbs and spices yet to be determined.

The scallops wouldn't bear up to more cooking, otherwise I might
consider making this a baked casserole topped with buttered bread crumbs.
