  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Fresh Scallops
  • Finger Limes
  • Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Fresh Herbs (Cilantro, Basil, Chives)
  • Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat the scallops dry with a paper towel.
  2. Slice the scallops into thin rounds, aiming for a quarter-inch thickness.
  3. Cut the finger limes in half and gently squeeze to release the citrus pearls.
  4. In a bowl, combine the sliced scallops with olive oil, sea salt, and finger lime zest. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Artfully arrange the marinated scallops on a chilled plate, top with citrus pearls, fresh herbs, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Serve immediately with a light, crisp white wine.

Notes

Avoid over-marinating the scallops to maintain their texture. Use sustainably sourced scallops for the best flavor.
