Learned this recipe from a friend who got it from *The New Basics Cookbook* by Rosso & Lukins. Incredible combination of flavors and textures! Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature |
2 teaspoons lime zest, grated |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1 lb sea scallops, washed & patted dry |
3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh |
1/3 cup walnuts, halves, lightly toasted |
fresh parsley, chopped to garnish |
Directions:
1. To make the lime-ginger butter, stir the first four ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until firm, about one hour.
2. Heat the oil & the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the scallops and stir until golden. Pour off the fat.
3. Stir in the lime juice & cook for 1 minute.
4. Lower heat and stir in lime-ginger butter, 1 tbsp at a time. Cook just until a thick sauce forms.
5. Stir in walnuts, sprinkle with parsley & serve.
