Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound scallops
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (12 ounce) bottle butter beans, rinsed and drained
1 lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ½ cups cooked lentils
1 cup arugula, or to taste

Steps:

  • Toss scallops, olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until scallops are completely coated.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and transfer scallops to a bowl.
  • Cook and stir garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add butter beans, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning; cook and stir until beans are slightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir cooked lentils and arugula into skillet; cook and stir until arugula begins to wilt, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour any accumulated scallop juices from the bowl over arugula; stir scallops into lentil mixture and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper.

I thought this dish was just okay. The scallops were a bit bland and the lentils and butter beans were a bit mushy. The arugula added a nice peppery flavor to the dish, but it wasn't enough to save it.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the lentils and butter beans were delicious. The arugula added a nice peppery flavor to the dish. I would recommend cooking the scallops for a shorter amount of time.
