Serve these scallops over hot cooked rice.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound sea scallops, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry or 1 teaspoon
  • lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 ribs celery, sliced thin diagonally
  • 2 green onions with tops, cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen green peas, thawed and well drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • hot cooked rice

Preparation:

Place cut up scallops into a medium bowl; add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the sherry, garlic and ginger. Toss gently and let marinate while preparing other ingredients. In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat until very hot. Add celery and onions and stir fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.

Push vegetables to the side of skillet. Add scallops with marinade and cook until tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add peas and heat through. Toss to mix. Serve over hot cooked rice.
Makes 4 servings.

"I find scallops difficult, but was looking for something simple and tasty sounding for this mollusk. Since I like to stir fry, this recipe caught my eye. I skipped the celery, and used slices from a red bell pepper and added about 1 1/2 cups of broccoli and cauliflower. I only had canola oil, but otherwise followed the recipe, using the sherry as suggested. I cooked it all in a wok. I served the meal over brown rice, and it was truly delicious. I know I'll cook this again."
