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 stalk lemongrass, crushed and minced
1 shallot, finely minced
1 scallion, cut on the diagonal in 1-inch slices

Boston lettuce leaves

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 a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili next time.

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.
