Sea Scallops Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare Bok Choy

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cut bok choy in half lengthwise and season with salt and black pepper. Place cut side down in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until charred and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

   Prepare Coconut Cream Sauce

   In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut cream over low heat until warm. Stir in a tablespoon of chili crisp and mix well. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
