Margarita scallops - A beautiful blend of seafood and citrus. In my opinion, the lime makes all the difference in the world for this delicious Scallop Recipe. Enjoy with a bottle of white wine and a good friend. |
Ingredients to make Margarita Scallops
50 ml (¼ cup) tequila
250 ml (1 cup) freshly squeezed lime juice
125 ml (½ cup) freshly squeezed lemon juice
125 ml (½ cup) sugar
1 to 2 jalapenos, stemmed, seeded and coarsely chopped
180 ml (¾ cup) green onion cut into ½ inch (1 cm) pieces
250 ml (1 cup) chopped cilantro leaves
5 ml (1 tsp) garlic
2 ml (½ tsp) salt
500 g (1 pound) large sea scallops
15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
1 lime, quartered
15 ml (3 tsp) minced cilantro
Directions to make Margarita Scallops
Place all ingredients, except scallops and olive oil, in blender or food processor; puree. Taste mixture; add more jalapeno as desired. Transfer mixture to mixing bowl; set aside. Rinse scallops in cold water; pat dry. In non-stick sauté pan over high heat, heat olive oil just until smoking. Add scallops to sauté pan and sear well without stirring or tossing.
Add citrus mixture to pan; bring to a boil. When liquid reaches a boil, turn scallops and cook for one minute more. Remove scallops, cover to keep warm; reduce sauce to half of its original volume over high heat. To serve, divide scallops among plates. Pour liquid from pan directly over plates. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
