Spicy Scallops
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 (½-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and minced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 8 large scallops, cleaned
Instructions:
These scallops are simple to make but are sure to impress even your most fussy guests. They are also tasty over pasta as a main course. Make sure to use the freshest scallops you can find.
- In a pan large enough to hold all of the scallops, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, jalapeño, and ginger, and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
- Add the coriander, soy sauce, and water, stirring to combine; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. Allow the pan to cool slightly.
- Add the scallops to the pan and spoon the reserved liquid over the top of them. Return the pan to the stove, increasing the heat to medium-high. Cover the pan and let the scallops steam for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until done to your liking. Serve immediately.
