Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

2

Sauté the Scallions

In the same skillet, use a tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat (or olive oil) to sauté the chopped scallions for about 2-3 minutes until tender. Set aside.

3

Cook the Scallops

In the skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt and black pepper. Sear scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

4

Plate the Dish

On each plate, spoon a generous serving of mashed potatoes, top with the seared scallops, sprinkle with sautéed scallions, lime zest, and the crispy bacon pieces.
