Seared scallops

A tasty, unusual, and very festive-looking appetizer to dress up your table! It's simple to make but really striking in both looks and flavor. The first time I made it for a get-together with friends, they were absolutely delighted))) Now I make it now and then — for coworkers and for relatives coming to visit. This dish is always a hit and never fails to impress.

  • Prep the scallops ahead of time — take them out of the package, thaw them, rinse, pat dry, and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Make the sauce before searing the scallops. In a saucepan, combine the chopped shallots, basil, and herbs with finely chopped, peeled plum tomatoes. Pour in 100 ml of the olive oil and squeeze in the juice of the lemons. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir. Warm the sauce over moderate heat for 1–2 minutes, then take it off the heat and let it steep for 10 minutes. Heat a large skillet with the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Lay the scallops in the pan in a clockwise order, cook for two minutes, then — going clockwise again, starting with the first one — flip them and cook for another two minutes. Transfer the scallops to paper towels to blot off the oil and sprinkle them with lemon juice. Serve the scallops hot, spooned with the sauce, on their shells or on plates, garnished with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
