Description

These Creamy Tuscan Garlic Scallops with Turmeric Lime Sauce offer a delightful blend of Italian flavors with a zesty twist. Tender scallops are enveloped in a luscious sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and turmeric, brightened by lime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large sea scallops (250g / 9oz): Pat dry for a good sear.
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil: Extra virgin preferred.
  • 1 tbsp (14g) butter: Adds richness.
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced: Freshly minced is best.
  • ½ cup (75g) sun-dried tomatoes: Oil-packed, drained.
  • 2 cups (60g) baby spinach: Adds freshness.
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream: For a creamy sauce.
  • ¼ cup (25g) Parmesan cheese: Grated, high-quality.
  • ½ tsp (1g) turmeric: Adds color and flavor.
  • 1 tsp lime zest: Bright, citrusy aroma.
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lime juice: Enhances zest.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste.
  • 1 tbsp (15g) pumpkin seeds: Toasted, for crunch.
  • 1 tbsp (5g) parsley (optional): For garnish.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Scallops: Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear Scallops: Heat oil and butter, sear scallops 2 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add Tomatoes: Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Wilt Spinach: Add spinach and toss until wilted, about 1 minute.
  6. Create Sauce: Pour in cream and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Infuse Flavor: Whisk in Parmesan, turmeric, zest, and juice.
  8. Combine: Return scallops to pan and warm for 1 minute.
  9. Plate: Spoon sauce, arrange scallops, and garnish.

Notes

For best results, use dry-packed scallops and pat them thoroughly dry before searing. Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing the scallops to ensure even browning.
