Optional: If serve with scallops and/or shrimp, pat them dry. Lightly season with black pepper and salt. Pan fry scallops with 2 tbsp ghee about 3 minutes per side over medium heat. Set aside over a plat, cover and keep warm. Use the same skillet and the remainder of the oil to pan fry shrimp until they curl up and turn pink color (about 2-3 mins). Serve the scallops and shrimp over broccoli fried rice.
