This may just be the leanest, cleanest, metabolism boosting meal possible. Yet, it’s far from boring or flavorless.
Scallops can be a bit pricey at a restaurant, but when you watch for a seafood sale at your local market you can make them at home very reasonably. A quick sear as is used in this recipe leaves you with a sweet and delicate flavor.
Be sure to choose the freshest ingredients for this simple but impressive meal.
Ingredients:
-
1 lb Sea Scallops
-
1 lb Asparagus

1/4 cup Shallots, minced

2 tbs Lemon Juice
-
1/4 tsp Black pepper

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

2 tbs Avocado Oil

Increase heat to high and sear scallops one minute per side.
-
Decrease heat to medium, add all ingredients back into the pan. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
