Servings
Ingredients
1 lb large scallops (fresh or frozen)
0.67 cup sweet & sour sauce
2 tbsp fresh basil
1 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder
0.5 tsp minced garlic
2 medium zucchini
1 cup baby carrots
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper


Directions

4 Slice zucchini lengthwise and cut into 1/2" thick quarters.
