Asian Scallop Stew with Coconut, Ginger and Lime

3.9

(36)

Serve this stew over rice or on its own as a soup. Either way, sprinkle lettuce with rice vinegar and oriental sesame oil for a light salad. Sliced blood oranges and holiday cookies will do nicely afterward.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2, can be doubled

Ingredients

12 ounces sea scallops, halved if very large
3/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 x 1/4-inch strips

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla) or soy sauce
