A Taste of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce nicely compliments scallops and gives them a beautiful glaze.

Ingredients

Mound greens in center of each appetizer plate. Briefly rinse scallops and dry thoroughly. Remove muscle from side if still attached.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and pan-sear 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Salt and pepper scallops while cooking.
Transfer 3 scallops to each plate.
Turn heat to low (leaving oil in skillet) and add Sweet Chili Sauce, lime juice, and Fish Sauce. Mix until combined and drizzle over scallops.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately.

The chilies are mellow and sweet in this sauce, great as a dipping sauce by itself, or as a flavorful addition to sauces and marinades.

Thais use Fish Sauce the way other cultures use soy sauce. Its savory and salty flavors are perfect for stir-frys, curries, marinades and dressings.
