Ingredients

1 pound scallops
¼ cup fresh lemon juice or concentrate
¼ cup Holland House® Sherry Cooking Wine
2 teaspoons cornstarch
⅓ cup butter
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
¾ teaspoon dried thyme
1 (6 ounce) package frozen pea pods, thawed
¼ cup diagonally sliced green onions
Hot cooked rice

Steps:

If scallops are large, slice them in half crosswise to make thin medallions. Combine scallops and lemon juice in a shallow baking dish; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. When finished marinating, stir in sherry cooking wine and cornstarch.
Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add carrots and garlic; cook about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and thyme; cook and stir about 3 minutes. Stir in scallop mixture; cook until scallops are opaque, about 4 minutes. Stir in pea pods and green onions; heat through. Serve over hot cooked rice.
