CURRIED SCALLOPS
This is my favourite recipe for curried scallops. It is creamy and rich, with a nice tangy flavour to the sauce. This is the mixture I use for my curried scallop pies, or you can just serve it over rice.

Steps:
- In a bowl combine well 1/4 cup water, the garlic, the jalapeño, the soy sauce, the orange juice, the sugar, and the salt, add the scallops, coating them well with the marinade, and chill the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for at least 8 hours or overnight.

CURRY-CRUSTED SEA SCALLOPS
This light and quick entree is elegant enough for guests but filled with wonderful flavor. A bag of scallops can be purchased from the freezer case; they defrost in minutes. This recently published recipe came from the Arizona Daily Star newspaper. We loved it and I think you will too. Serve with my Rice with Carrots; they look lovely together. Hope one of you gets a photo of it for me (hint, hint:)

Tips:
- Fresh scallops are key: When choosing scallops, look for firm, plump scallops with a briny smell. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Properly sear the scallops: To get a nice sear on your scallops, make sure your pan is hot before adding the scallops. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make sure the sauce is well-chilled: The cucumber sauce is best when it is served cold. Make sure to chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, or parsley add a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish. Garnish the scallops with fresh herbs before serving.
