Quick Steamed Scallops image

This is far from a gourmet recipe but something quick and tasty I came up with after I threw something similar together recently and found the juices from the scallops falling into the water added to the flavour. What I was really thinking initially was just less washing up! But anyway just a nice simple dish for one or two you can change to suit your tastes...

6 scallops
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional, to taste)
1/2 cup noodles
1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix together the scallops, lemon juice, garlic and chili power if desired along with any other seasonings you like with scallops.
  • Prepare a a small steamer with 2 cups of water and bring it to the boil until steaming well.
  • Place the noodles and vegies in the bottom of the steamer in with the water, scallops at the top.
