π I have a light & delicious lower-carb dinner recipe for you today.
Scallops give any meal a special occasion vibe and the fun fact is that they take only a few minutes to sear.
This dish comes together even faster because it uses a packaged slaw mix.
π If you want a heartier meal, serve it with a side of rice or roasted sweet potatoes.
