Ingredients
1-2 Tbsp AOOC Harissa Infused Olive Oil
Sliced lemon for plating
4-6 fresh or thawed scallops
Directions
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the Harissa OO to a non-stick 12 or 14 inch pan on Medium-high heat. Sprinkle the scallop with seasoning until fully coating the best looking side. Gently add the scallops to your hot oil seasoning side down, making sure that they are not close enough to stick together.
- Sear the scallops about 1 1/2 minutes for each side, with a nice crust on each side and a translucent center.
- Serve immediately atop fresh cut lemon for a nice citrusy touch as an appetizer, or sear multiple batches to add into a delicious pasta. Drizzle with more Harissa Oil or serve as a dipping oil for an extra kick of heat.
