Bay Scallops with Summer Veggies

By pdotson July 14, 2012

This is one of the BEST meals I have made in a long time and it took all of 25 minutes from start to finish. When I started out I really did not have a plan in mind just some garden veggies that needed to be used up and some bay scallops that I thawed from the freezer. This would serve 2.

Prep Time : 10 minutes
Cook Time : 15 minutes

Ingredients

Bay Scallops - 1 small package (about 2 cups)
Yellow Squash Sliced Think - 2 small
Zucchini Sliced Think - 1
Sliced or Diced Onion - 1/2 cup
Diced Garlic - 2 cloves
Tomato Diced - 1
Olive Oil and Butter for the Pan
Parmesan Cheese to Garnish
Micro Greens - 2 cups
Salt Pepper and Garlic to Taste
Lemon juice - 1 (not in picture) juice only
Splash of White Wine - (not in picture)
Diced Artichoke Hearts - 1/2 cup (not in picture)

Instructions

I sautéed the squash and zucchini in a hot pan with olive oil, onion, and salt, pepper, and garlic till just warmed through. Then I removed them from the pan.
To the same pan I added about 2 TBS of butter, scallops, and a bit more seasonings. The Scallops cooked in about 4 mins.
I had some left over brown rice so I put the scallops over a think layer of brown rice.
Then in the pan I added the lemon juice, 2 TBS butter, and a splash of white wine and 1/2 cup of diced artichoke hearts. And cooked till it began to bubble
Then I added the squash, and sauce over the scallops and rice and topped with the micro greens, tomatoes, and cheese.
