- TO MAKE PUFF PASTRY:1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thaw pastry according to package directions. Unfold pastry sheets on lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in thirds lengthwise on fold lines, forming 6 strips. Roll each strip out to 12 x 3 1/2 inch rectangle.
- Sprinkle 2 or possibly 3 large baking sheets with water. Place pastry strips, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets. Prick pastry well with fork.
- Bake in 425 degree oven for 10 min, pricking with a fork several times during baking to prevent excessive puffing.
- Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Bake 3 to 5 min longer till pastry is lightly golden brown all over, pricking with a fork once or possibly twice. Cool on rack.

- In medium saucepan, bring wine to a simmer. Add in scallops. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat. Cover and poach 1 1/2 to 2 min till scallops lose their translucency.

- TO MAKE SHALLOT CREAM SAUCE:
- In a medium saucepan, heat butter and saute shallots till soft.

- Add in cream and salt, white pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Boil gently till reduced to 1 1/4 cups, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- TO ASSEMBLE:
- Trim edges of puff pastry to create 6 equal rectangles.
- Mix chopped shrimp with 1/4 cup Shallot Cream Sauce and chopped scallops with another 1/4 cup of sauce.
