Ingredients

Live Scallops in the shell 4 pieces

Imitation crab sticks (surimi) 2 sticks

Garlic 3 cloves

Green bell pepper 1/4 piece

Red bell pepper 1/4 piece

White wine 1 tbsp

Salt 1 tsp

Ground black pepper 1/2 tsp

Hot pepper sauce (e.g., Tabasco) few dashes

Premium light soy sauce 1 tbsp

Instructions

Clean and Marinate Scallops

Scrub the scallop shells thoroughly to remove any grit. Season the scallops with a pinch of salt and the white wine. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavor.

Prepare the Topping

While the scallops marinate, dice the imitation crab sticks into small cubes. Finely mince the green and red bell peppers along with the garlic cloves.

Assemble and Steam

Place the marinated scallops in a heatproof dish. Distribute the diced crab, peppers, and garlic evenly over each scallop. Sprinkle with black pepper and add a few dashes of hot sauce. Steam over high heat for approximately 5 minutes until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
