scallop shell on beach

Scallops on the shell with Asian-style Vinaigrette

This is a recipe I made up on the spur of the moment. It was 6.30pm and I had guests for dinner at 7.30pm. I wanted something informal, to serve with drinks, in the place of an entree. I had beautiful scallops and just raided my cupboards to come up with something to go with them! I was pleased with the results and so hope I can accurately reproduce the quantities.
