- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

- 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
- 12 sheets phyllo dough, (14 inches x 9 inches)

Directions
- In a large skillet, saute scallops, shrimp and 1/2 teaspoon garlic in 1 tablespoon oil for 2 minutes or until seafood is opaque. With a slotted spoon, remove from the pan and coarsely chop; set aside.
