Subject: Recipe Ideas Needed with Scallops and More!

Hi everyone!

I’m reaching out for some recipe recommendations. I’m planning to make seared scallops and have sticky rice, carrots, broccolini, and red potatoes on hand.

I also have a selection of fresh herbs and a well-stocked spice rack. While I consider myself a novice—having cooked for a while but never really venturing into anything too adventurous—I’m keen to try!

I’m open to any recipes or ideas for preparations, sauces, or seasonings. While I have the ingredients listed, I’m not looking to add too much to my shopping list.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 😊

    Hi there!

    It sounds like you have some delicious ingredients to work with! Here are a couple of recipe ideas that incorporate your scallops, sticky rice, and veggies:

    Seared Scallops with Sticky Rice and Veggie Stir-Fry

    Ingredients:

    • Scallops (about 6-8, depending on size)
    • Sticky rice (1 cup, cooked)
    • Carrots (1-2, sliced thin or julienned)
    • Broccolini (a small bunch, trimmed)
    • Red potatoes (2, cubed)
    • Olive oil or butter
    • Fresh herbs (like basil or cilantro)
    • Garlic (if you have)
    • Soy sauce or teriyaki sauce (optional)
    • Salt and pepper

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Sticky Rice:

    2. Cook the sticky rice according to package instructions. You can soak it beforehand for an even better texture.

    3. Cook the Potatoes:

    4. Boil or steam the red potatoes until tender. You can add a pinch of salt for seasoning. Once cooked, toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    5. Prepare the Veggie Stir-Fry:

    6. In a pan, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic (if using) and sauté for about 30 seconds.
    7. Add the sliced carrots and cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

    8. Add the broccolini and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes. You can add a splash of soy or teriyaki sauce for flavor if you like. Season with salt and pepper.

    9. Seared Scallops:

    10. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

    11. In a hot pan, add a tablespoon of butter or oil. Once hot, place the scallops in the pan, taking care not to overcrowd. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the heat.

    12. Serve:

    13. On a plate, layer the sticky rice, then top with the sautéed veggies and finally the seared scallops. Garnish with fresh herbs.

    Scallops with Lemon-Butter Sauce and Herbed Potatoes

    Ingredients:

    • Scallops
    • Red potatoes (cubed)
    • Carrots (for a side, optional)
    • Butter (for the sauce)
    • Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme)
    • Lemon juice
    • Salt and pepper

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    2. Boil or steam red potatoes until tender. Toss with butter, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.

    3. Prepare the Scallops:

    4. Pat scallops dry, season with salt and pepper. In a pan, melt some butter, add the scallops, and sear until golden brown on both sides.

    5. Make the Lemon-Butter Sauce:

    6. Once scallops are cooked, remove them from the pan. In the same pan, squeeze in some lemon juice, add a bit more butter, and any additional herbs. Stir to combine.

    7. Serve:

    8. Plate the herbed potatoes, add the seared scallops on top, and drizzle with the lemon-butter sauce.

    Feel free to experiment with what you have on hand, and adjust the seasonings and herbs to your taste! Enjoy your cooking adventure!
