Steps:
- Using Microplane, finely grate enough peel from limes to measure 2 teaspoons. Cut one lime into wedges and reserve. Mix butter, chili sauce, green onion, and lime peel in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter mixture in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook just until opaque in center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Divide scallops between 2 plates. Drop butter mixture in small dollops over scallops on each plate and squeeze lime wedges over.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops: Opt for dry-packed scallops to ensure freshness. Avoid scallops that are overly wet or have an off odor.
- Properly clean the scallops: Remove any grit or sand from the scallops by rinsing them thoroughly under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
- Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet retains heat well and provides a nice sear for the scallops.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to cook the scallops in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming them instead of searing them.
- Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side: This will give them a nice golden brown crust while keeping them tender on the inside.
- Make the chili lime sauce while the scallops are cooking: This will allow the flavors to develop and blend together.
- Don't overcook the scallops: Overcooked scallops become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque throughout.
- Serve the scallops immediately: Enjoy the scallops while they are hot and fresh, drizzled with the chili lime sauce.
