  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound scallops
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 8 green onion, thinly sliced

  1. To make the dipping sauce, in a small bowl blend together the walnut butter, (yogurt, if needed), lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper flakes, set aside.
