Scallop and Snow Pea Stir Fry

 

Sometimes we just need dinner to be simple and easy, especially on a Friday night when we have big plans after dinner. This easy stir fry can be on the table 25 minutes after you walk into the kitchen, and it's low fat and veggie rich as well.

When we make a stir-fry, we like to chop all the ingredients ahead of time and set them next to the wok in the order that we will add them to the pan. These dishes cook so quickly that it's nice to have everything ready to throw in when it's time. The shellfish remains tender, while the veggies stay crisp, just the way it should be.
