p90x Recipe - Scallops with Avocado Lemon Dill Sauce

I made up this recipe based on some guidelines in the p90x Nutrition Guide:


Name: Sauted Scallops and Green Onions with Lemon-Dill-Avocado Dressing and Rice


Stats:
Serves: 1
Protein: 2 portions
Carbs: 1 portion
Fat: 1 portion


Ingredients:

8 ounces of scallops (2 portions of protein or 200 calories)
1 cup of cooked rice (1 portion of carbs or 100 calories)
1/3 mashed avocado (1 portion of fat or 100 calories)
2 tbs fresh squeezed lemon Juice
1 tsp fresh chopped dill
2 chopped green onions
salt & pepper to taste
1/8 cup Vermouth or White White ( didn't figure this into the calorie counts...but I'm sure it's got calories...)

Directions
Saute 2 servings or about 8 ounces of Scallops in a pan coated with cooking spray until they just begin to brown.

Mix together in a bowl:
1/3 mashed avocado
2 tbs fresh squeezed lemon Juice
1 tsp fresh chopped dill
2 chopped green onions
salt & pepper to taste

When scallops are close to being finished, pour in a few tablespoons of vermouth or white wine and scrape up all the glaze at teh bottom of the pan mixing it back in with the liquid.

Pour the lemon-avocado dressing over the scallops and mix well.

Add 1 cup of cooked rice and stir together until rice is warm.

You may need to add a little more liquid while the rice is heating through.

This is a balanced and tangy p90x recipe with loads of nutrition.

Sit down and enjoy!
