Follow The Directions

01

Step

If the scallops are large, slice them horizontally to create thinner medallions. In a shallow dish, combine the scallops and lemon juice. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

02

Step

After marinating, gently stir in the dry sherry and cornstarch, ensuring the scallops are evenly coated.

03

Step

In a large skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the thinly sliced carrots and minced garlic; cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

04

Step

Introduce the sliced mushrooms and dried thyme to the skillet. Cook and stir for approximately 3 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften and release their earthy aroma.

05

Step

Pour the scallop mixture into the skillet. Cook until the scallops turn opaque and are just cooked through, about 4 minutes.

06

Step

Gently fold in the thawed pea pods and sliced green onions. Heat through, ensuring they retain their vibrant color and slight crispness.

07

Step

Serve immediately over hot cooked rice, allowing the bright flavors of the primavera to shine.

For the best flavor, use high-quality sea scallops.
Do not overcook the scallops, as they will become rubbery.
Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
Serve with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, to complement the flavors of the dish.
For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of heavy cream at the end.
