Tips:
- Choose the right scallops. Look for dry, plump scallops that are free of any brown or black spots.
- Sear the scallops properly. Sear the scallops over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make sure the citrus glaze is not too thick. If the glaze is too thick, it will not coat the scallops evenly.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked, while they are still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Scallops with citrus glaze is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The scallops are perfectly seared and the citrus glaze adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy fresh scallops.
