Notes: These are so simple and good. Do not overcook, you want them to get a nice sear on each side. The marinade will evaporate. Add a splash of white wine if you wish more juice to serve over rice or noodles.
I really like these over a Chinese style salad with various greens,arugula, green onions, radishes, grape tomatoes, mandarin orange slices, slivered almonds and an orange-sesame dressing. Great served with pot stickers.
When we are in a Mexican mood we marinate the scallops with tequila and serve with Spanish rice.
Be creative.
