Ingredients

For the scallops and corn:  

12 Fresh U-10 Scallops

4 ears of fresh sweet corn, or 1 bag frozen

1 cup coconut milk 

1” fresh ginger, peeled and grated 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

1 red onion, thinly sliced 

1 serrano pepper, minced

1 cup frozen sweet peas

1 tsp turmeric 

½ tsp cumin 

½ tsp coriander 

½ lemon, juiced 

For the mango-lime relish: 

1 fresh ripe mango, skinned and cut into chunks

Zest of 1 lime 

Juice of 2 limes

1/4 cup fresh mint 

½ cup fresh cilantro

3 green onions

1 serrano pepper 

½ tsp fresh ginger, peeled

3 tbsp rice wine vinegar 

4 tbsp olive oil 

Salt 

 

 

 

 

Instructions

  1. First, make the mango-lime relish by adding all ingredients into a food processor and mixing until chopped but not pureed. Set aside.
  2. Cut the corn from the cob. Bring a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil, and sautee onion, garlic, serrano chili, and ginger until soft and fragrant. Add the spices and sautee for another minute, then add the corn and peas and saute for 5 more minutes. Add the coconut milk and lemon, stir to incorporate, and reduce the heat to low. 
  3. Place a large pan over high heat. Add enough oil to just coat the bottom of the pan. Pat-dry your scallops, season well with salt and pepper, and place them flat side down on the pan. Make sure the pan is searing hot before you put your scallops down, otherwise you won’t achieve that beautiful crisp sear. When you see the edge of your scallop brown, roughly 3-5 minutes, turn them over to sear on the other side for another 3-5 minutes. Serve over coconut creamed corn topped with the mango relish.
