Step By Step

Instructions

Preparation:

Remove the small muscle from each scallop and pat them dry. Season generously with salt.

In a mixing bowl, combine corn, avocado, scallions, jalapeño, and grated garlic. Add lime juice, olive oil, and chopped mint. Season with salt & pepper, then toss gently.

How to Cook

Heat a skillet over high heat with olive oil. Once hot, place scallops in the pan, making sure they don’t touch. Sear for about 2 minutes until a deep golden crust forms.

Flip the scallops, reduce heat to medium-low, and add butter, garlic, and thyme. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the scallops for 1 more minute until cooked through.

Plate the fresh corn and avocado salad, top with buttery scallops, and drizzle any extra garlic butter over everything.
