Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb orzo pasta
4 dill sprigs
1/3 cup fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 carrot, grated
1 lb bay scallops (cut into 1/2-inch chunks) or 1 lb sea scallops (cut into 1/2-inch chunks)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

Fill a large pot 3/4 with water and bring to a boil. Add orzo and dill sprigs and cook until orzo is al dente (about 10 minutes), or according to package directions. Remove 1 cup cooking water. Drain orzo. Remove and discard dill sprigs.
Coat a wok with cooking spray, add the oil, and place over medium-high heat. When hot, add carrot and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add scallops, orzo and reserved cooking water and cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has been evaporated and scallops are opaque throughout (4 - 5 minutes).
Stir in pepper, chopped dill, lime juice, lime zest, and garlic.
