Melt remaining butter in a medium skillet; quickly brown remaining whole tortilla, then the 6 scallops. Place whole tortilla in bottom of buttered pie plate and surround with with scallops, forming sides of crust. Preheat oven to 375. Then evenly distribute seafood across bottom of tortilla shell. Place shrimp interlocking around edge, fill bottom with scallops, then distribute lobster over all. Top with garlic & peas. Beat together eggs, cream, sherry, salt & white pepper; pour evenly over all. Scatter cheese on top. Then attractively decorate top of pie: arrange tomato wedges overlapping each other around outside edge; jalapeno slices over tomatos and chives in a circle in the center. Grate nutmeg over all. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.
