Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 large Fresh scallops
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 Radish
Instructions
Start by ensuring the scallops are very fresh. Gently rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the scallops in the freezer for about 15 minutes to slightly firm them up. This will make slicing them easier.
Once firm, using a sharp knife, slice each scallop horizontally into very thin rounds about 1/8 inch in thickness.
Arrange the scallop slices in a single layer on a serving platter, slightly overlapping if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well blended.
Drizzle the lime and olive oil mixture evenly over the scallops, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and the mint leaves, then sprinkle them evenly over the scallops.
Thinly slice the radishes and distribute them across the scallop carpaccio as a garnish, adding a crisp texture and a pop of color.
Let the scallop carpaccio sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve immediately, enjoying the delicate flavors and textures of the keto-friendly scallop carpaccio.
