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