3 scallions thinly sliced  
juice of one lemon
1/4 cup white wine

Cook the brown rice and set aside.

Rinse and pat dry the scallops and shrimp and sprinkle both side with curry powder, salt and pepper,

Heat the butter in a large.non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the scallops and shrimp cook until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

Deglaze the pan with the white wine and add the brown rice, cilantro, scallions, lemon juice, and chilies, if using and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook stirring until heated through.

Top with the scallops and shrimp.  Serve up and enjoy!
