Description

Got 10 minutes? You can whip up this pretty dish!

Ingredients

  • 12 pieces Scallops, Rinsed And Patted Dry
  • 2 dashes Salt And Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • Red Pepper (optional)
  • 2 Tablespoons Light Olive Oil (or More)
  • 1 pint Grape Tomatoes
  • 4 stalks Green Onion, White And Greens, Chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Chopped

Preparation

Sprinkle the scallops on both sides with a bit of salt and pepper (sea salt if you have it), then the paprika and optional red pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in your saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and saute for about 2 minutes per side (depends on the size of your scallops). They will brown a bit.

Remove the scallops, place on a plate and cover with foil.

Add the tomatoes and green onions to the pan and a bit more oil if necessary. Saute for about 5 minutes. Tomatoes will begin to split and release juice.

Add in the lemon juice and parsley and saute 1 minute. Add the scallops back in for 1-2 minutes (just to heat through). Scatter a bit more parsley on, plate and serve.

Optional: Add a few dashes of red pepper for some heat!

I served this with seasoned white rice and a salad.

I used this recipe to cook scallops for the first time. I was very happy with the way it turned out. My scallops were kind of big so I did 2 minutes on one side and 4 on the other and they came out perfect. I think they would also be good with basil in place of the parsley.
