Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step helps remove any grit and moisture.

  2. 2

    Mince Aromatics

    Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

  3. 5

    Cook the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 6

    Add Spiciness

    Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the scallops and stir gently to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  5. 7

    Add Sauce

    Pour in the soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Stir gently to coat the scallops in the sauce and cook for another minute until heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and Garnish

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the scallops. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve lime wedges on the side.
