Directions

Melt the butter in a large frying pan, over medium high heat.
Add the scallions and sauté (cook while stirring occasionally) for one to two minutes until the whites are slightly transparent.
Add the green pepper. Sauté for 3 minutes until soft and bright green.
Sprinkle the seasoning over the pepper and sauté for one minute more.
Add the seafood and hot sauce. Stir gently to combine.
Heat for just 2-3 minutes until they are hot and serve immediately. *Please note if you are using bay scallops, these do NOT come precooked and will need to cook for 5-7 minutes total so they are thoroughly cooked. You will know when they are done when they have turned 100% opaque and white. If you are using a combination of seafood, add the scallops first and cook for 3-4 minutes before adding the pre-cooked seafood. Pre-cooked seafood need only be heated. Overcooking results in a spongy, rubbery and not-so-great texture.
Serve hot and enjoy! Fabulous over cauliflower rice.
