Number Of Ingredients 9

2 red grapefruits
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 piece (1/2 inch) peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sea scallops, tough muscles removed, scallops halved horizontally
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup arugula sprouts
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Remove peel and pith from each grapefruit. Holding over a bowl, carve out flesh between the membranes, letting segments drop into the bowl (you should have about 2 cups segments). Squeeze membranes over bowl. Strain juice into a measuring cup. Transfer 1/2 cup juice to a saucepan; discard remaining juice.
  • Make the dressing: Add honey, lemon juice, and ginger to pan with juice. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Discard ginger. Gradually whisk in 1 tablespoon oil until emulsified.
  • Lay scallops, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet; season tops with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops, seasoned side down; cook until edges are browned, about 4 minutes. Flip, and cook 30 seconds more. Set aside.
  • Toss arugula sprouts with 1 tablespoon dressing in a small bowl; set aside.
  • To serve, divide grapefruit segments among 4 serving plates. Top each with sprouts and seared scallops, dividing evenly. Drizzle each plate with 1 tablespoon dressing, and season with remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and the pepper.

This recipe was a disaster. The scallops were rubbery and the grapefruit sauce was bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scallops were overcooked and the grapefruit sauce was too tart.

I was hesitant to try this recipe at first because I'm not a big fan of grapefruit, but I'm so glad I did. The grapefruit flavor is subtle and really enhances the scallops.

This scallop dish with red grapefruit was a delightful culinary experience. The combination of flavors was exquisite, with the sweetness of the grapefruit perfectly complementing the delicate taste of the scallops.
