1. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Place in a bowl. Rinse the scallops and pat dry; add to the shrimp.
2. Use a fork to mash together 4 cloves of garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Add to the shrimp along with 2 tablespoon of oil; mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. The next day, place the chipotles, onion, lime juice and remaining garlic and salt in a food processor; pulse until a paste forms.

Cook's Notes:
This is a saucy mixture of lobster, scallops and shrimp, cooked in a chipotle cream sauce, then served over a bed of rice.
You'll find canned chipotles in adobo sauce in the ethnic aisle of most supermarkets.
