Scallop

Bites

recipe by Lindsay Pleskot

light and refreshing!

Directions:

1. Tear or cut off 16 pieces of Inspired Greens Green Batavia lettuce, rinse and pat dry with paper towel and set aside.

2. Next combine your salsa ingredients in a small bowl and toss to combine well. Adjust seasoning as needed.

3. Heat your avocado oil in a large frying pan over high heat.

4. Meanwhile, salt and pepper the scallops on both sides. When the oil is hot, add your scallops to the pan, turning the heat down to medium-high. Allow them to sear and brown, approx. 2 minutes. Flip them over and repeat on the second side, cooking for another 2 minutes. Don’t stir them around while cooking, this will prevent them from actually browning which is where all that flavor comes from!

5. Turn off the burner and remove from the heat. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes to cool down a bit.

6. Plate your lettuce, double stacking the leaves to form 8 lettuce cups. Next, divide your scallops between the cups, leaving them whole or cutting them up into smaller pieces if you prefer.  Top with your salsa mixture and garnish with cilantro and more lime if desired.
