Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture for better searing.

  2. 2

    Slice the Mushrooms

    Clean the shitake mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cilantro

    Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water, shake off excess water, and chop it coarsely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Garlic and Chili Flakes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, but not browned.

  2. 5

    Cook the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the scallops are opaque and cooked through. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 6

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced shitake mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned. You can add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.

  4. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Return the scallops to the skillet with the mushrooms. Toss gently to combine and heat through. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
