Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 12 pieces Scallops
• 0.5 cup Sweet chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
• 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and lime juice. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp and scallops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle, add the scallops in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the scallops.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot over jasmine rice or quinoa, spooning extra sauce over the top for added flavor.
