Ingredients for Bay Scallops With Artichokes And Tomatoes

  • Bay Scallop
  • Green Onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

  • Frozen Artichoke Hearts

How to Make Bay Scallops With Artichokes And Tomatoes

  1. If using pasta, cook according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Add the bay scallops, salt, and white pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
  5. Stir in the artichoke hearts and diced tomatoes (drained if using canned).
  6. Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted.
  7. Stir in the lemon juice.
  8. Serve immediately over cooked angel hair pasta (if using), or enjoy on its own.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
