Pan-fried Scallops with Lime and Coriander Recipe

Pan-fried Scallops with Lime and Coriander

The sweet subtle flavour of scallops is delicious. You can buy the large King Scallops or the smaller Queen variety. Which ever you choose, you are in for a tasty treat. I love them as a starter and this simple recipe from Jo Pratt is sure to impress. Pan-fried Scallops with Lime and Coriander
4.3/5 (7 votes cast)
Serves:  2
Preparation Time:  10 mins
Cooking Time:  3 mins
6-8 Scallops
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 Large chopped garlic cloves
1 tsp Chopped fresh red chilli
Juice of half a lime
Roughly chopped coriander
Salt and pepper
1. Fry the scallops in the olive oil for about 1 min until golden, then flip them over and sprinkle over the garlic cloves and chopped fresh red chilli into the pan. Cook for about 1 min more, then squeeze over the juice of the lime.

2. Finish off with roughly chopped coriander and salt and pepper. Serve straight away.
When buying Scallops stear clear of those that look bright white as they have probably been soaked in brine to make them look plumper. For the best flavour choose ‘diver caught’ scallops, they are more expensive, although worth it.
