Stir-Fried Garlic Scapes with Seared Sea Scallops (serves 2)

These garlic scapes are available for only a short season every year around end of June and early July. Recently at a Farmer's Market I was lucky to spot and  purchase 2 small bunches. These are sweet and crunchy with a mild garlicky taste. They are delicious in a quick saute with some local fresh off-the-boat seared sea scallops.
