Quick Steamed Scallops

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...

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. 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.
2. Prepare a a small steamer with 2 cups of water and bring it to the boil until steaming well.
3. Place the noodles and vegies in the bottom of the steamer in with the water, scallops at the top.
4. Once back at the boil drop heat to around medium so it continues to steam without boiling too hard. Steam for 8-10 minutes.
5. Drain noodles and vegetables, stir through soy sauce (once again to taste) and serve with scallops on top.
