This is a very quick and easy recipe, that takes less than 10 minutes to put together.
Ingredients :
200 gms cleaned fresh scallops.
2 tbsp butter + few drops oil
2 tbsp garlic chopped fine.
1 tbsp chipotle flakes (substitute - red chilli flakes)
Method:
Rinse scallops and pat them dry with paper towels before cooking. They won't brown if they have too much moisture on the outside.
Heat a little butter in a pan with a few drops of oil
(to prevent the butter burning)
Fry some finely chopped garlic in the
butter.
Once it crisps up, add some chipotle flakes (chilli flakes can
be used, but the chipotle has a sweet smoky flavour, not just heat)
The
flakes burn quickly and scallops cook quickly, so you need to move
fast.
On high heat, sear the scallops on both sides (a few seconds), then lower the
heat and cook gently till they are done (2-4 minutes depending on thickness).
Look for the scallops to just about turn opaque. If you overcook them, they will become tough.
Take the scallops out of the
pan, cook the remaining liquid in the pan until it thickens to a sauce
like consistency and pour it over the scallops.
Serve fresh and hot.
Options:
You can make this recipe with fresh prawns or any light fish
