Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Shallots

Thinly slice the shallots and fry them in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Sear the Scallops

In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if necessary and heat until shimmering. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Plate the Dish

On a serving plate, arrange the seared scallops. Sprinkle with fior di sale, crushed pink peppercorns, and crispy shallots. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Serve

Serve immediately while hot, offering a fresh and elegant seafood experience.
