Time 10m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chicken stock or fish broth
1 1/2 pounds whole bay scallops or quartered sea scallops (see note)
1 kaffir lime leaf, finely slivered
1 stalk lemongrass, crushed and minced
1 shallot, finely minced
1 scallion, cut on the diagonal in 1-inch slices

Steps:

  • Place the lemon juice, fish sauce, chili powder, sugar and chicken stock or fish broth in a saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the scallops and cook over high heat, stirring for about 3 minutes or until the scallops are opaque. The liquid should be considerably reduced.

I don't recommend this recipe. The fish was overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This dish was so simple to make, yet so flavorful! The lemongrass really shines through and gives it a beautiful citrusy flavor. I served it over jasmine rice and it was a perfect meal.
