Serves
2 but you’ll want to eat it all yourself

Author Notes

I love Chinese Food and adore seafood. I am always trying to come up with new variations of the two, but I always come back to my favorite, stir frying shrimp and scallops along with savory vegetables and … oh, need I say more? This dish is so flavorful and a perfect dish when home alone and you want to cook for nobody else but yourself. —nonchefnick
