Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large fresh sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup microgreens
Instructions
Begin by placing the scallops in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will firm them up slightly, making them easier to slice thinly.
Remove the scallops from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice each scallop horizontally into very thin slices, aiming for about 3-4 slices per scallop.
Arrange the scallop slices on a serving platter in a single, overlapping layer.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, lime zest, orange zest, and extra virgin olive oil. Whisk together until well mixed.
Drizzle the citrus and olive oil mixture evenly over the arranged scallop slices.
Finely chop the fresh chives and roughly tear the mint leaves. Sprinkle them over the scallops.
Season the scallops lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
Garnish with microgreens, spreading them evenly across the dish.
Allow the scallop carpaccio to sit for about 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and elegant appetizer.
