  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of shrimp and 1/2 pound of scallops. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  3. Pour the chili paste mixture over the shrimp and scallops. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the seafood evenly. Serve immediately over rice (optional).
