Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp julienne-cut peeled fresh ginger
1 tbsp sliced green onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
20 sea scallops (about 1 1/2 lb)
1/2 cup vodka
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1 tsp stick margarine or 1 tsp butter

1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 lbs chopped fresh spinach
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl.
Place scallops in a shallow dish. Add vodka, vermouth, and half of ginger mixture; toss gently. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
Melt margarine in a large skillet over high heat. Add remaining ginger mixture, and sauté 30 seconds. Add orange rind and juice, and bring to a boil. Stir in spinach, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Remove from skillet, and keep warm.
