Steps:
- Brush each prosciutto slice on 1 side lightly with some of oil. Heat heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 slices prosciutto, oiled side down. Cook until bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn prosciutto over and cook until bottom is browned, flattening with spatula, about 1 minute longer. Using tongs, transfer prosciutto to paper towels to crisp. Repeat with remaining 2 slices prosciutto. Reserve skillet.
- Place greens and basil in large bowl. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper; dust lightly with flour. Heat remaining oil in reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook until brown and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add lemon juice and lemon peel to drippings in skillet. Bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Pour pan juices over greens and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide salad among 4 plates and top with scallops. Garnish with prosciutto chips and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for plump, juicy scallops, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful dressing.
- Cook the scallops properly. Scallops should be cooked quickly over high heat so that they remain tender and juicy. Overcooked scallops will be tough and rubbery.
- Don't overcook the rice. Rice should be cooked according to the package directions, but it should not be mushy. Al dente rice is best for this salad.
- Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a dressing that is light and flavorful, such as a vinaigrette or a citrus-based dressing.
- Add some crunchy vegetables. Crunchy vegetables, such as celery, carrots, or cucumbers, add texture and freshness to the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made, while the rice is still warm and the scallops are still tender.
Conclusion:
Warm scallop rice salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this warm scallop rice salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
