Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 3/4 pounds Nantucket Bay scallops
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 cup tequila
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 red bell pepper, minced
1 serrano pepper, minced
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons roughly chopped mint
8 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Scallop shells
Fleur de Sel (sea salt)
Seaweed
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Clean the scallops by removing the tough small muscles on the side, and reserve the scallops in the refrigerator until needed, preferably on ice.
  • Make the marinade by combining all of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper. If you are making this in advance, do not add the green herbs, or they will discolor. Add them when you add the scallops.
  • Marinate the scallops in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes before serving.
  • To serve, fill each glass or bowl with ice. Place the shells on top of the ice and fill with the scallops and dressing. Garnish with seaweed and lime wedges. Just before serving sprinkle some sea salt over the scallops.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my budget. I would recommend using a less expensive cut of seafood.

I thought the dressing was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more lime juice or tequila to give it more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chile pepper if you don't like spicy food.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the dressing was fantastic. I would recommend cooking the scallops for a shorter amount of time.
