Grilled Scallops Tacos and Cabbage Slaw With Spicy Avocado Sauce image

This is surprisingly fast to make and since scallops are sliced 1/2 to 1/3 horizontally (depending on size), they grill up very quickly on the pan. If scallops are large, then 1 taco equals 1 large scallop. But, if you are using medium or smaller scallops, you may need to use more scallops per taco. I love the creaminess of this avocado sauce which goes really well with other grilled fish or seafood items too.

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large Hass avocado, roughly cut
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
1/2-1 large pickled jalapeno pepper, seeded (adjust heat to your liking)
1 tablespoon fresh limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large garlic clove
kosher salt
black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 limes, zest of or lemon
1 tablespoon limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
kosher salt
pepper
4 -6 large sea scallops (see description above)
olive oil
1/2 cup green cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped roughly
4 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • In a blender combine the sauce ingredients and process until smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
  • In a bowl whisk the marinade ingredients. Slice each scallops into 1/2 or 1/3 depending on size horizontally. Add the scallops to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl combine the cabbage, onion, and cilantro.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan and lightly coat with olive oil. Place the scallops without crowding and quickly sear the scallops on high heat until lightly browned, about 30 seconds to a minute. Turn over and brown on second side for 30 seconds to a minute. Do not overcook or they will toughen. Remove from pan.
  • Wipe the same frying pan and heat the tortillas both sides until warm about 15 seconds each side. Remove and continue with all the tortillas.
  • Fill each tortilla with some of the cabbage mixture and scallops. Top with the sauce and eat!

These tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. Next time I'll use less of the spicy avocado sauce.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the spicy avocado sauce. The tacos were still delicious.

I've made these tacos twice now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. The scallops are juicy and flavorful, and the cabbage slaw is light and refreshing. The spicy avocado sauce is the perfect amount of heat.
