As much as we love fish, if you ask anyone in my family what their favorite seafood is, the answer will be unanimous, scallops. Combine scallops with 2 family-favorite vegetables and you have the makings of a delicious and nutritious meal that everyone will enjoy.
Scallops are a delicious addition to a stir fry with vegetables. The quick cooking method seals in all the flavors of the ingredients and it can be made in less time than it takes to order take-out.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 8 scallops, large
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch asparagus, cut the stalks in half*
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
Instructions
- In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining tamari, honey and sesame seed oil. Add scallops and marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, broccoli and asparagus and sauté for about 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender but crisp.
- Add marinade, scallops and scallions to the vegetables.
- Sauté 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until scallops are done.
- Add sesame seeds, stir and remove from heat.
- Divide the vegetables on 2 plates, top with scallops and sprinkle with the optional toasted sesame seeds and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Serve with a side of quinoa.
Notes
*If the asparagus stalks are thick either trim the ends enough to remove the thickest portion or increase cooking time slightly to make sure the thick pieces are tender.
Healthy and delicious. You can’t go wrong with fish and seafood recipes.
A few weeks ago I shared a fish taco recipe made with a variety of fish fillets I received from Sizzlefish. By request I’ve made them 3 times since then. I’m guessing the same will happen with the stir fry recipe too.
What is your favorite seafood? What 2 veggie favorites would you add to a stir fry?

yum – i LOVE scallops – never have prepared them myself though!!
Ooooh this sounds wonderful! i am not sure I have ever cooked with scallops, but I would like to! We had a stir fry last night, it was nice to load up on vegetables after a week of eating out! Will have to take a look for scallops now!
you know i love me some scallops and stir fry! pinning this!
I’ve never made scallops so I”m so glad you posted this! I was lost with mine!
I will try this one, need to mix up our dinner. I think I would use shrimp instead of scallop.
Girl, that looks GOOD! Shrimp and halibut, I can’t choose one favorite. As for the two veggies, hmmmm, in a stir fry I love green beans and onions
Yum! Scallops are my favorite! For less pricy seafood meals I really like shrimp and halibut. I am a pescatarian… vegetarian who occasionally eat fish. So I love this recipe!
Pretty pin too! Pinned!
Mmmmm delicious! I adore scallops and love the flavors that you used here!
If you don’t mind, will you lay me out a plate? I’ll be over for dinner?
I need to try this! Minus the scallops 😉
Looks delish! I love scallops, but sadly the rest of my family doesn’t. I will try this recipe for myself though!!
I LOVE all things seafood…seriously every single thing!!! I can’t wait to make this!!
LOVE broccoli and asparagus!! We made stir fry several times last week actually, but probably not as healthy- we just used rice, black beans, mixed veggies, and the occasional teriyaki sauce. Still cheap and easy 🙂 This looks delicious though, and I do love seafood!! I wonder if some sort of crab variation might be good??
Oh my goodness, that looks so AMAZING!
You just put together literally all of my favorite foods. Love it!
I love broccoli and I love asparagus not really a seafood lover but I bet this would taste just a delicious with some salmon! Great recipe!
This looks so scrumptious, Jill! Broccoli and mushrooms are my favorite stir fry veggies!
I LOVE scallops! I don’t cook them at home very often, I actually don’t cook much seafood at home very often, but I need to start cooking it more. Pinning this!
oh that looks DELICIOUS.
We love scallops and got really spoiled while in the East a few years ago with fresh Digby scallops… bought them still live at a market in Halifax!
Stir fry? Always start with onions and garlic…
Your dish looks lovely.
AHHHHH youve done it again with this awesome recipe. You rock
I love scallops but don’t buy them often. Looks like a delicious dish with great ingredients 🙂
My stir fry always has to have broccoli and peppers
That looks totally awesome!!!
I love scallops but the hubs does not. Maybe I need to make this all for myself?!
Ohhhhh, I don’t love seafood, but I wish I did!!!! Dang it. I’m a huge broccoli and asparagus fan though and I bet I could try your recipe with chicken or something. Or, maybe I could make it with shrimp!??? I don’t mind shrimp too much. Or, maybe I should “buck up” and just eat the dang seafood because it’s good for me, huh?
The hubby loves scallops so I will be pinning this recipe for a date night dinner.
Wow! This looks delicious!!! My favourite sea food is crab, lobster, tuna and salmon.
Yum! Stir fry and healthy… great recipe! 🙂
Lobster and then scallops in that order…LOL! I love broccoli and bok choy added into a Stir Fry! 🙂 Nom Nom!
