Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds sea scallops (about 20), "foot" muscles removed
Juice of 1 1/2 limes, plus wedges for serving
1/2 shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
4 teaspoons fish sauce
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 head napa cabbage, shredded (about 7 cups)
2 Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks
2 cups fresh Thai or regular basil, roughly chopped
1/4 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Place the scallops on a large plate lined with a paper towel and pat dry. Combine the lime juice, shallot, chili sauce, fish sauce and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Add the cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, apple and basil to the dressing and toss well to coat.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the scallops in an even layer (do not crowd the pan). Cook, undisturbed, until a golden crust forms on the bottom of the scallops, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops (they should release easily from the pan; if they stick, cook 1 more minute). Cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the cabbage salad among plates and add the scallops. Top with the peanuts and serve with lime wedges.

SCALLOP SALAD



Scallop Salad image

This ultrasimple scallop salad, brought to The Times in 2012, comes from Jair Téllez's restaurant in Mexico City, MeroToro. Easy enough for a weeknight, it requires only a few ingredients. Tender, earthy boiled potatoes complement the quick-seared scallops, while spring onions lend a bit of sharpness.
