In a skillet or wok, warm the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the light coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir gently to create a light and subtle coconut base. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they turn opaque and are cooked through.
Squeeze the juice of one lime into the skillet and give everything a gentle stir to infuse the dish with a bright citrus note.
Serve the shrimp and scallops over a bed of cooked long-grain white rice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a cohesive and delicate flavor profile, be sure not to overpower the dish with the coconut cream sauce. The focus here is on the freshness of the seafood complemented by the light coconut undertones. Adjust the lime juice to your preference, as it adds a vibrant zing to the dish. As always, ensure not to overcook the seafood for the best texture. Serve with a light side salad or roasted veggies and enjoy!
