Spicy Scallops With Lime & Chilli

Ingredients

• 16 large scallops
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 tsp peanut oil
• 1 tsp crushed garlic & 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• finely sliced spring onions
• grated rind of lime
• 1 small fresh red chilli (de-seeded and finely chopped)
• 3 tbs lime juice
• ½ tbs brown sugar

Trim the scallops to remove intestine, then wash and pat dry. Separate the corals from the white parts, then slice in half horizontally, making 2 circles. Heat the butter and peanut oil in a preheated wok. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the onions and fry for another minute. Add the scallops and continue stir-frying over high heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the lime rind, chilli, lime juice and sugar and cook for another minute. Serve garnished with lime wedges and cooked rice.
