1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lbs bay scallops (the smaller size, not sea scallops)
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
2/3 cup green onion, sliced
2/3 cup celery, sliced
3 tablespoons butter, melted
6 ounces snow pea pods, fresh (if frozen, thawed)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn, cracked
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon diced pimento
hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Combine the water, wine, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add the scallops; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to sear evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season the scallops simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to bring out their natural flavor.
  • Cook the scallops over high heat. This will help them to sear quickly and evenly.
  • Do not overcook the scallops. They should be cooked until they are just opaque in the center.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.
