6 larges scallops
8 mediums broccoli tips with stem
2 pinches salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon fresh garlic
1 pinch ground chili powder

Preparation

1 PREPARATION: Wash the scallops, broccoli and pat try separately. Grate garlic very finely. 2 COOKING: Heat the skillet on medium to high heat. Once skillet is hot add the table spoon of butter and fresh garlic to it. 3 Sautee the garlic for a minute and then add the chilli and salt to it. The smell of the garlic and chilli and butter cooking are making my mouth water :) 4 Now place the scallops into the fry pan and sear it for couple of minutes on each side. 5 Once the searing is done and the scallops look nice and brown and crispy on the outside add ground pepper to taste and remove from heat. 6 Let it rest for few minutes to finish the cooking process. 7 Once this is done take off skillet put on serving platter. 8 Oh don't forget the broccoli LOL. Now comes the best part. 9 Put the skillet back on the stove, turn the heat back to medium high and put the nice broccoli in the skillet. 10 Cook it with all the nice flavours that are still in the skillet from the scallops, ginger, pepper and chilli. 11 Once broccoli has turned to a nice light green colour take off heat, add to your scallops and enjoy :)

About


Quissy and I had lots of left over fried rice and noodles and we were debating 
what to have with our left overs? Couple of ideas were being tossed around!
We both fancied seafood that night and scallops it was :)
We chose the following dish because it’s an easy and fast dish to make. It’s 
very tasty, healthy and soothing.
After dinner it was all :) on our faces.
