Seared Scallops

Seared Scallops with Cilantro, Chili and Lime

The lemony flavors of the wine will complement the citrus used in the marinade and won’t overpower the light bodied scallops.
  • 10-20 scallops depending on size
  • 3 tbs cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 3 limes 
  • 1-2 tsp chili powder or chipotle powder (better if you can find it!) 
  • Tortillas
Marinate scallops in mixture with water added to cover if necessary for 2 hours or more. Grill or sear in a pan until cooked through. Serve with tortillas as an alternate to fajitas.
