Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oatmeal

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rolled oats, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes until the oatmeal is creamy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Scallops

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the Digby scallops with salt and black pepper. Add the scallops to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Corn and Crab Mixture

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Then add the sweet corn and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Gently fold in the Tanner crab meat and cook until heated through. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In a bowl, layer the prepared oatmeal as the base, then top with the corn and crab mixture, and finally place the seared scallops on top. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
