Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm to the touch and have a slightly briny smell.
  • If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops can be used. Just be sure to thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
  • Season the scallops generously with salt and pepper before searing them. This will help to bring out their natural flavor.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot skillet with a little bit of oil. This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the scallops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • To make the primavera sauce, use fresh vegetables that are in season. This will give the sauce the best flavor.
  • Simmer the primavera sauce for at least 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the cooked scallops to the primavera sauce and heat through.
  • Serve the scallops primavera over pasta, rice, or quinoa.
