Zesty Polynesian Scallops Recipe #370078
This Polynesian dish is reminscent of the uniquely tropical cuisines of Hawaii and New Zealand. It's a very easy dish to prepare, and it makes a very elegant dinner, especially paired with a dry white wine or a tropical orange-mango blend fruit juice. But remember to always take care not to overcook scallops or they will become tough. As soon as they lose their translucence and turn opaque, they are done.
