Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large fresh sea scallops
- 0.5 whole lemon
- 0.5 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root
- 0.5 whole jalapeño
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Carefully rinse and pat dry the sea scallops. Slice each scallop horizontally into thin discs, about 1/4 inch thick, and set them aside on a plate.
Zest half a lemon and half a lime using a microplane or fine grater, making sure not to reach the white pith. Reserve the zest.
Juice the halved lemon and lime into a small mixing bowl. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger. Stir to combine.
Thinly slice the jalapeño, removing the seeds for less heat, if desired, and add to the bowl with the citrus-soy mixture.
On a serving platter, fan out the scallop slices into a circular pattern. Drizzle the citrus-soy dressing evenly over the scallops.
Season the scallops lightly with sea salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the reserved lemon and lime zest over the scallops for an added burst of citrus aroma.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and scatter it over the dish for a touch of herbal brightness.
Serve immediately as a refreshing keto-friendly appetizer or as part of a main dish.
