1
Prepare the Scallops
In a bowl, combine the scallops, lime juice, salt, and olive oil. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
2
Char the Corn
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add corn kernels and cook until charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
3
Prepare the Popcorn
In a large pot, heat the butter over medium heat. Add popcorn kernels and cover with a lid. Shake the pot occasionally until popping slows down. Remove from heat and season with paprika.
4
Cook the Scallops
In the same skillet used for the corn, add a little more olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Dish
On a plate, arrange the charred corn, seared scallops, and top with sliced jalapeños. Serve alongside stovetop popcorn.
