Luscious scallops, seared until golden and nestled in a mound of spring vegetables, make a showy and elegant presentation: low-fat and high-style.

Ingredients

Snow peas

1 cup(s), trimmed

Carrots

2 medium, thinly sliced or julienned

Dried shiitake mushrooms

2 cup(s), trimmed

Asparagus

¼ pound(s), cut into 3-inch pieces

Uncooked scallops

1 pound(s)

Teriyaki sauce

¼ cup(s)

Soy sauce

2 tbsp(s)

Unseasoned rice vinegar

3 tbsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Place snow peas, carrots, mushrooms and asparagus into a steamer over boiling water. Cover and cook until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. While vegetables are cooking, heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add scallops and let brown, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until firm and opaque, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and add teriyaki sauce.
  3. Toss vegetables with soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  4. Divide vegetables among 4 plates, top with scallops and serve. Yields about 3 ounces of scallops and 1 1/4 cups of vegetables per serving.
