Ingredients

Scallops with Lime Soy Sauce - 8/12/2005

12 sea scallops (10-20 per pound) 1 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbl. olive oil 2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lime 1/4 cup ginger juice
1/2 cup soy sauce 1 Tbl. chili paste
1 tsp. yellow Miso paste 1/2 bunch cilantro

Directions

Place scallops in a bowl and coat with olive oil. Season with black pepper. Heat saute pan over high heat, then add a touch of olive oil.

Carefully place scallops in pan flat side down. Cook until they turn dark brown, then flip over and brown the other side. Remove from pan.

Make the sauce in the same pan that you used to cook the scallops. First saute the chopped garlic in 1 tsp. olive oil. When it starts to change color, add the lime juice, ginger juice and soy sauce. Reduce the liquid by half.

Stir in the chili paste and the yellow Miso paste. The sauce should cook until it is the consistency of warm honey.

Remove from heat. Add the chopped cilantro just before serving. Pour sauce over the browned scallops. Serves 4 as an appetizer.
