Prep Time : 5 minutes
Cook Time : 4 minutes (not counting rice)
Yield : 4 servings (serving size: about 5 scallops and 1/2 cup rice) 

 

Ingredients:

1 (3 1/2-ounce) bag boil-in-bag long-grain rice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 pounds large sea scallops
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 tablespoon bottled minced ginger

Directions:

Prepare rice according to package microwave directions (or make your own rice in a rice cooker or stove-top following the directions for each type); set aside.

While rice cooks, heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.

Pat scallops dry with a paper towel; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place scallops in pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

My notes:  

This is a nice way to serve sallops and it looks very nice on a plate...but we enjoyed the lemon-shallot scallops more as they had more flavor.  I would add extra ginger next time but if you love scallops you will like this one.

 

Serve with steamed green beans or for added flavor serve with pan-fried green beans
