Simple Garlic Steamed Scallops — CantoneseGuangdong home cooking.

Ingredients

• fresh scallops on the half shell
• garlic cloves, minced
• light soy sauce
• vegetable oil
• scallions, chopped

Instructions

1. Make garlic sauce: mix minced garlic with soy sauce and 1 tbsp oil.
2. Scrub scallop shells under running water. Remove any beard threads attached to the shell.
3. Spoon sauce over each scallop. Steam over high heat for 4 minutes. (Scallop turns opaque white, edges curl slightly)
4. Separate the meat from the shell carefully. Keep the half-shell for serving — it holds juices.
5. Remove, sprinkle scallions, drizzle remaining hot oil over. Serve.
