Scallop Carpaccio



Scallop Carpaccio

In Lima it’s sunny and quite warm today. Most people left the city to spend the weekend at the beach.

As we have not quite finished our installation yet, we decided to stay  and unpack the last remaining boxes.

So to get at least a bit of summer feeling, I found these gorgeous fresh scallops at the market and tried to prepare them in an easy, light way.

You need:

-6 fresh, top quality scallops

-1 ½ spoonful  extra virgin olive oil

-The Juice of  1 Lime

-1 spoonful very finely chopped chives

-½ spoonful finely chopped yellow or red chili(deveined)
-4 spoonful sour cream
-Salt
Preparation:
Cut each scallop vertically in 3 to 4 pieces (according to the size of the scallops)

 

Put a bit of lime juice, olive oil, chili and Chives on each piece.


Season with salt and serve with sour cream.

Serves 4-5

Enjoy!

  4. My wife totally loves scallops, so we eat them all the time. I need to try this - we haven't tried them this way, at least not at home (we've had similar dishes in restaurants). Really good stuff - thanks.

  5. We love scallop or any seafood!(minus oyster for me) I've never had scallop with sour cream. That's new to me and I'm curious. This is very easy to make and I can already taste the refreshing flavor!
