Coat the scallops lightly with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle the top with black pepper, and then set them aside. Place the corn, peas, and precooked grains in a mixing bowl. Add the remainder of the olive oil and the Italian dressing to the ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir thoroughly. Remove the peas, corn, and grains from the mixing bowl and spread them evenly in a Ready. Chef. Go!® bag. Place the scallops on top of the mixed ingredients inside the bag and seal it.

Conventional Oven: Preheat the oven to 400° F. Place the bag on a baking sheet and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the grains are hot and the scallops are cooked throughout.

Microwave: Place the bags on a microwave-safe dish and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the scallops are cooked thoroughly.

Let the bags cool for a few minutes before cutting them open and plating to serve. Serve with sliced citrus fruit for garnish.
