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.
