I love scallops and have never tried them with watercress. The May issue of Martha Stewart Everyday Food has a recipe for Scallops with Sauteed Watercress and Ginger (not up on Martha’s site yet). This recipe was a breeze to make. You saute garlic and ginger, then the watercress, then the scallops. You add some sesame seeds to the watercress as it is cooking, along with lemon juice. Very simple yet very tasty. I didn’t buy enough watercress, so I ended up with a tiny little pile of it.

I threw this together one night after a late school event, so it was definitely done in a rush, but it was good. I would make this again.
