Steps:

GINGER-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK
Fresh ingredients and bold condiments do the heavy lifting here, creating a fragrant 20-minute meal that will lure people into the kitchen, wondering what smells so good. Inspired by elements of Indian and Thai curries, the shrimp are coated in ginger, garlic and turmeric, then seared and braised in a combination of coconut milk and soy sauce. Spinach is stirred in for a bit of green, but you can substitute your favorite quick-cooking greens like bok choy or kale and adjust cooking time as needed. Swap the shrimp for scallops or white fish, if you like. Serve with rice, rice vermicelli noodles or naan to soak up the flavorful liquid.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Add the shrimp and mix to coat well.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the shrimp in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stir to combine and turn the shrimp. Raise the heat to high and adjust it to maintain a simmer (avoid bringing to a boil), and cook until the liquid is slightly thickened and shrimp are almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach in batches until wilted.

SEARED SCALLOP THAI NOODLE SOUP
We loved this! If you want it spicy, leave some of the seeds of the chiles in. The cabbage blends into this soup. Try whatever veggies you like in it. I like to eat the pieces of ginger and lemon grass, but some people might set them aside in their bowl. The lime leaves have a unique and delicious flavor, but if you can't find them, you could try making it with lime zest. If you don't like scallops, shrimp would probably be a good substitute. Based on a Ming Tsai recipe.

Steps:

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for plump, juicy scallops, fresh ginger, and crisp rice noodles.
- Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a deep, rich flavor.
- Add some vegetables: If you like, you can add some vegetables to this dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or snap peas. Simply stir them into the sauce and cook until they are tender.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The rice noodles will start to soften and become mushy if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Ginger scallops with rice noodles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The scallops are tender and juicy, the rice noodles are light and fluffy, and the sauce is flavorful and aromatic. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
