Recipe - Sauteed Scallops With Mint And Carrots

2 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Three fourths pound Scallops (large sea
scallops); cut in half or
quarters
1 Carrot; cut into julienne
strips
One fourth cup White wine or water
One fourth cup Chopped fresh mint leaves
Salt and pepper
Mint sprigs; (for garnish)

Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat.
Add the scallops and cook just to brown the outside without cooking
through, about 1 minute. Transfer the scallops to a plate and set aside.

Add the julienne carrot to the skillet with the white wine and cook until
the carrots are brightly colored and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle
the chopped mint over, return the scallops to the skillet and cook,
stirring, until the scallops are just opaque through, 2 to 4 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the scallops onto individual
plates, garnish with sprigs of mint and serve immediately.

NOTES : Seafood Alternatives: shrimp, cubed white fish There's more to mint
than a sprig decorating a dessert. Here you'll find how tasty mint can be
when paired with sweetly flavored scallops and carrots. You could also use
basil or arugula in the place of mint, each with deliciously different
results.
