For the Seared Scallops

For the Thai Chilli Sauce

Method

To Prepare the Thai Chilli Sauce

  1. 1

    Chop the Ingredients

    Finely chop the red chili peppers and garlic cloves. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the chopped chili peppers, garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

To Cook the Scallops

  1. 3

    Prepare the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. This will help them sear properly.

  2. 4

    Season the Scallops

    Sprinkle the scallops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 6

    Sear the Scallops

    Carefully place the scallops in the hot skillet, ensuring they are not crowded. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not move them while they are searing for the best crust.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle the Thai chili sauce over the scallops and serve immediately.
