Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Pat the sea scallops dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt.

  2. 2

    Sear the Scallops

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Curry Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the red curry paste and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the coconut milk, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the green beans and bamboo shoots to the sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes until the green beans are tender-crisp.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the seared scallops to the skillet and gently coat them with the sauce. Allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Serve garnished with Thai basil leaves.
