I buy those at the local Korean supermarket. I usually make them with
rice, adding some shrimp stock (you make it with the shells,) if you
don't have shrimp stock, clam broth/juice is good, s&p, some ole' bay,
couple of shots of habanero Tabasco, saffron and broiled (charred) red
peppers as decoration and for consumption.

Knorr makes a decent shrimp bullion cube.
I've used it to cook rice for seafood.

I never, ever cook rice it water; only in stock or bullion broth.

Bullion is salt, yellow coloring, processed fat, et cetera. In essence,
it's junk. Stick with real broth/stock or wine.

That's fine if you have time to make it...

Personally, I don't like the way making any seafood stock stinks up the
house. Ick!

The bullion works fine for me.

It's not like I eat rice very often. :-)

You can make it ahead, and freeze it into ice cube trays and dump them
in a bag and suck out all the air.

Not that I want to be a snob, but face it, you are buying salt, fat,
colorings.

But if you enjoy that; hey, go for it : )

Well, I came up with something. I defrosted the frozen seafood under cold
water in the sink (it also included clams and octopus).

I boiled egg noodles, and sauteed some onions and garlic in a frying pan.
Added the seafood to the onions and garlic, along with some canned crab
meat, lemon juice, bit of white wine, dill, pepper, salt , etc..

I drained the noodles, then mixed them with some mayonaise and a can of
cream of mushroom soup. Added some bread crumbs as well, and some grated
mozzarella and cheddar cheese (trying to use up odds and ends aroudn the
kitchen).

I combined the noodle mix and the seafood mix in a ceramic casserole dish.
Sprinkled a layer of crumbled cornflakes cereal on top (I don't know why,
just seemed like a good idea at the time, as i had no crackers to use
etc..).

I think it would have been fantastic with scallops, if i had some..

Baked for 30min @ 350F

turned out pretty decent, if I do say so myself (Which I do)

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scallops (especially ocean scallops, as opposed to bay scallops,) are
best browned in olive oil on both sides (without over cooking them,) and
served with a bit of salt, white pepper, and fresh lime/lemon juice.
Does justice to them!

I buy these seafood 'medleys' at our local King Soopers (Kroger) here in
Colorado. I'm surprised they aren't more expensive than they are.

I prefer to not rinse or defrost under water, because I don't want to
lose any of the flavour. I usually saute it quickly in either butter or
olive oil with a bit of garlic, and shallots if I have them on hand.
Perhaps a little wine. I like it best over rice.
