If there were an election for the best way to prepare scallops, Garlicky Scallop Stir-Fry would be the hands-down winner! Maybe we should plan on serving this on Election Day as the results roll in...

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (10-1/2-ounce) can condensed chicken broth
1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
1/2 of a small red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 pound sea scallops, quartered
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons light soy sauce

What to Do

In a large skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
Reserve 1/4 cup chicken broth. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and the remaining chicken broth to the skillet; mix well. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
Add the scallops and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the scallops are firm and white.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, and the reserved chicken broth until smooth; stir into the skillet and cook for 1 minute, or until thickened. Serve immediately.
