Pan fried Scallops with chilli and lime

Ingredients

  • 3 scallops per person
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large cloves of garlic,
  • chopped 2 small red chillies,
  • chopped juice of half a lime
  • handful of coriander, roughly chopped

Method

Fry the scallops on one side in the olive oil for about 1 minute until golden. Do not try to turn them too early – wait until a golden brown crust has formed.

Flip them over and sprinkle over the chopped garlic and fresh red chilli into the pan. Cook for about 1 minute more, then squeeze over the juice of the lime.

Finish off with roughly chopped coriander and salt and pepper. Serve straight away. Japanese rice noodles make a great accompaniment for this dish.
