A nice spicy little asian style dish, that is easy and quick to prepare. I invented it for a dinner aboard a charter boat, but its a great dinner party dish too.

    Excellent scallops! I did have lemongrass--pared everything down to make a single serving. So easy to put together and such great flavor! I also had it with a Chardonnay.

    Great recipe Raxyl. I cooked 300g of Tasmanian scallops as a single serve but used the same amount of herbs and spices but with only 20g of butter. This gave a quite a powerful flavour which I liked but other's might like to stick with the original proportions. Otherwise I used the original recipe with the exception I replaced the lemongrass with lemon thyme just because a few places I checked didn't have any lemongrass. For the rice at the centre of the plate I didn't have Basmati so used a generic long grain rice cooked with a little Turmeric, along with a light salad. Made a great meal and I enjoyed along with some Penfolds Koonunga Hill Semillon Chardonnay.
