Via Verde! Make These Green Scallop Tacos.

1. 1

   Pat the scallops with some paper towels until completely dry (if theyre wet, they wont turn a nice color).

2. 2

   Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Heat a saucepan with some peanut oil until really hot, then add the scallops.

4. 4

   Now for the tricky part: You must absolutely not move the scallops about, and at the same time, of course, youd like a nice caramelized crust that isnt burnedso how do you do it?

5. 5

   Well, wait a couple of minutes, and when your intuition says theyre starting to get done, lift one of them carefully and take a peek underneath.

6. 6

   If it looks the same as in a restaurant, you flip them over, add a dollop of butter, and let sear on the other side as wellat the same time as you spoon over the melted butter from the pan.

7. 7

   Tasty!

8. 8

   Remember that a thoroughly cooked scallop is not an alternative, so if you dont like half-cooked seafood, do another recipe instead.

9. 9

   When theyre done, place 2 scallops on each tortilla, spoon the salsa over them, squeeze with lime juice to taste, and enjoy.

10. 10

    Serve with small wheat or corn tortillas and lime wedges.

    Tip: If you dont want to saute the scallops, do a ceviche instead just marinate in lime juice for 10 minutes.
