Scallop and Spaghetti Squash Delight
This was actually quick and easy since I make the spaghetti squash in advance so I just measure out 2 cups and reheat in the microwave on 50% power for 2 minutes or until steaming hot).
It has both an Indian and a Thai character to it. (that means spicy) My husband called it heavenly. Try it and decide for yourself.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of cooked spaghetti squash
- 8 oz Jumbo scallops
- 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce
- 2 tbsp Garam Masala spice (I bought mine at Whole Foods)
- 1 egg or 1/4 cup egg beaters
Directions:
- Rinse and pat dry the scallops
- Place the beaten egg or egg beaters in a small bowl
- Place the Garam Masala spice in a heap on a small plate
- Heat a 10 inch skillet to medium high after spraying with non-stick spray (I use coconut oil spray)
- Run each scallop through the egg to wet and then dredge with the Garam masala and place in preheated skillet
- Sear scallops on one side and turn and sear on the other side
- Add Green Curry Simmer Sauce to pan and reduce heat to low
- Scrape the bottom of the pan to include the spice that might have adhered into the sauce)
- Cover and finish cooking the scallops in the sauce. (about 2 minutes)
- Meantime reheat the spaghetti squash and place in two bowls
- Remove the scallops and spoon them and the sauce over the spaghetti squash
- Serve hot and enjoy a plethora of flavor
