Shrimp and Sea Scallop Stir-Fry

This is OUTSTANDING, but I highly recommend not adding the seafood until the end. Also, this is a ridiculous amount of vegetables; I cooked them in a large electric skillet and cooked them for a while so they would cook down, as also I like my vegetables cooked more than just the 3 minutes that the recipe says. I used white wine instead of sherry. Other than the cooking modifications, this was probably one of the best stir fry recipes I have ever had. Oh and one more thing, I used a lot more seafood than what they said - one pound total for all those veggies? My husband would flip out if I only used a pound....LOL
