Sea Scallops

Plump and sweet, sea scallops are a luxurious treat with a tender texture that melts in your mouth. Their delicate flavor is enhanced by a quick sear, creating a caramelized crust that contrasts beautifully with their succulent interior.

Notes

When selecting scallops, look for ones that are firm, moist, and have a mild ocean scent. Avoid scallops that are overly large, as they may be treated with phosphates to increase weight.
