SCALLOPS WITH ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- Trim asparagus, then cut stems into 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices, leaving tips whole.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté asparagus, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate, reserving skillet off heat (do not clean).
- Pat scallops dry and sprinkle with pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté half of scallops, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer scallops with tongs to another plate as cooked.
- Wipe out skillet with paper towels, then add remaining tablespoon oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté remaining scallops, turning over once, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total, transferring to plate. (Do not wipe out skillet after second batch.)
- Carefully add wine and vinegar to skillet (mixture may spatter) and boil, scraping up brown bits, until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 1 minute. Add any scallop juices accumulated on plate and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated.
- Add asparagus and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Serve scallops topped with asparagus and sauce.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
- Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If you can, try to buy seafood that is caught locally and sustainably.
- Cook the seafood properly: Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the seafood and vegetables, giving them a nice caramelized flavor.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve the flavors and textures of the dish.
