Works well with shrimp.
Have made this a couple of times, but tonight was the winning mod - fewer scallops since we are just 2 but the same amount of sauce - before serving, I dumped in some trimmed snow peas (maybe 1/4 lb) and continued to stir fry for 2-3 min - perfect for taste, appearance, and oh - only one pot.
