Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the rice, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low; stir, then cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the greens. Cover and set aside.
- Season the scallops with salt and sprinkle one side with the Cajun seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the scallops, spice-side down; cook until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
- Stir the parsley and scallion greens into the rice and season with salt. Serve with the scallops and lemon wedges.

[email protected]This recipe is a waste of time and money. The scallops were tough and the rice was mushy.

[email protected]I thought the Cajun seasoning was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again with less seasoning next time.

[email protected]The Cajun seasoning really made this dish sing. I used a store-bought seasoning blend, but I think it would be even better if I made my own.
