   Place a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add almonds and stir until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove almonds and set aside.

4. 4

   Add scallops in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and stir fry just until opaque throughout, about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook.

5. 5

   Transfer scallops to a serving platter, top with toasted almonds and serve immediately.
