Scallop Crudo X2

We last posted a scallop crudo recipe back in 2023. Given that we eat them frequently enough in the summer it felt like a good time to renew or really add a new zippy version to the blog. Just like the other one posted this is a quick, easy and impressive appetizer to spring on friends or even as a date night appetizer. 

Ingredients

2 large dry packed sea scallops, sliced into five pieces (sushi grade)

1 tomatillo

½ lime

½ serrano chili, seeded and diced

Espelette chili powder (or another kind, like cayenne)

Sea salt

Process 

Quarter the tomatillo and removed the stem.  Add into food processor with the juice of the lime, a pinch of salt and a pinch of chili powder.  Process until roughly chopped.  Add the serrano chili and stir to combine.  Spoon the mixture into the center of a small plate.

Lay the scallop pieces on top of mixture, then sprinkle with sea salt and more chili powder.  Serve immediately.

Makes a nice appetizer for two people, or double the recipe for four.
