Thai Peanut and Coconut Scallops With Ginger Rice

A quick and easy Thai dish uses basmati rice and fresh scallops.

Basmati rice has a nutty flavor and smells a little like popcorn when cooking. The best kind is imported and can be found in some supermarkets. Texmati rice, grown in the States, is more readily available. Either one will work in this recipe. Stock Image Factory/Dreamstime/TNS

Scallops are perfect for a quick meal. They need no preparation and only take a few minutes to cook. For this recipe they are simmered in a flavorful sauce made from a mixture of peanut sauce and coconut milk. Both items can be found in the Asian section of the supermarket.
