Scallops W/Citrus Ginger, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

SCALLOPS W/CITRUS GINGER SAUCE

Serves 4 people

INGREDIENTS

2 Tbsp Coconut Oil

1 ½ Lbs Sea Scallops

1 Orange, zest & juice

1 Lemon, juiced

1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated

2 Tbsp Butter, or Ghee

Pink Sea Salt & White Pepper, to taste

Fresh Thyme, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse scallops under cold water and remove the tiny muscle on the side. Thoroughly pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl mix orange juice, zest, lemon juice, ginger and butter and set aside.

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place scallops in the pan in a single layer, leaving about an inch of space between each one and working in batches if necessary. The first scallop should sizzle on contact with the pan; if not, wait a few seconds for the pan to get hot before adding the rest. Cook scallops until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes, and then flip using tongs. If the scallop doesn’t release easily, give it a few extra seconds in the pan. Cook the scallops until both sides are seared golden brown and sides are fully opaque, about 2-3 minutes more. The scallops should feel firm but tender.  Remove the scallops to a shallow serving bowl and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the orange and lemon juice, orange zest, grated ginger and butter to the pan. Whisk the sauce together in the pan until it's simmering. Then drizzle the warm sauce over the scallops and garnish with thyme. Serve immediately.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
