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.

Season with salt and pepper. Mound rice in large shallow bowl. Top with seafood curry, then cilantro.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality, fresh scallops for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops can be used, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Pat the scallops dry before searing them, this will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Sear the scallops over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Do not overcook the scallops, as they will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your curry, such as carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
- Use a good quality curry paste or powder for the best flavor.
- Add coconut milk to the curry for a rich and creamy flavor.
- Serve the curry with rice or naan bread.
