Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Strawberries

    If using store-bought pickled strawberries, skip this step. Otherwise, slice fresh strawberries and marinate them in vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Cook the English Peas

    In a small pot, bring water to a boil and add the English peas. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.

  4. 4

    Make the Shallot Butter

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add chopped shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add butter, chicken stock, and fresh thyme. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, place a generous spoonful of the shallot butter, followed by a few English peas. Top with 3 scallops, a slice of prosciutto, and a few pickled strawberries. Drizzle with Dijon mustard.
