1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3
Cook the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
4
Make the Coconut Sauce
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and lime juice, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
5
Combine and Serve
Return the scallops to the skillet, coating them in the coconut sauce. Cook for an additional minute to warm through. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
