I love scallops! I can have them in any shape or form and would often pick it from any menu when we are dining out. Sweet, succulent and just ultimate sea food treat. Scallops are referred as the ‘candy of the sea’ due to their sweet buttery, and absolutely divine taste.
Searing scallops might seem intimidating, but it’s insanely easy to do at home. This recipe is super simple and easy to prepare. I would highly recommend keeping all the ingredients ready as it takes only a few minutes of cooking. I like to marinate the courgettes for few minutes as it slightly softens them and also adds flavour to the vegetable.
