Sweet sea scallops cook quickly, needing only a brief 2- to 3-minute sauté to bring out their delicate flavor.

Once the scallops are removed, the same skillet is used to create a bright, savory sauce with fresh ginger, orange juice, lemon juice, and a touch of butter to lightly coat them.

For an easy side dish, microwave rice and stir in fresh spinach for a simple, flavorful pairing.

HELPFUL HINTS:

Be sure scallops are dry before adding them to the skillet.

Make sure oil in skillet is hot before adding the scallops.
