Made this recipe last night for the Bargain Basement tag game...I used low-sodium soy and added a little minced garlic. Tossed the peppers in about 1/2-1 teaspoon of oil and sprinkled Asian seasoning on them and put them on the Foreman grill for about 3-4 minutes then added the scallops. I used the toasted almonds in the rice and my DH LOVED this meal! So simple and easy. Thank you PaulaG for such a simple and delicious recipe!!! I will be making this often.

Very easy to prepare. I don't have a grill so I just tossed the scallops and peppers in a non-stick frying pan. I was a little disappointed as there was no discernable taste of orange in the scallops - I think I might cut the amount of soy sauce in half next time as it was quite salty. The toasted almonds and the peppers were a nice crunchy contrast to the tender scallops.
