Scallop Crudo Asian Style
A raw, fresh, Dayboat or Diver scallop is one of the greatest bites found in the Merroir of Maine’s waters!
Recipe provided by
Ingredients
- One pound Maine Dayboat scallops
Shop
- Chili paste in soybean oil (available at Asian grocers)
- Crispy fried shallots or onions (available at Asian grocers)
- 2 limes, quartered or cut for easy squeezing
- Cilantro leaves
- Sake (Optional)
- Serves: 20
Directions
Slice each scallop into 2-3 thin discs, depending on size. It’s easier to slice them cleanly if you place them in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm them up. Arrange on a plate and spread each piece with a dab of chili paste, then squeeze with fresh lime juice. Top with torn cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of crispy fried shallots. The combination of spicy sweet chili paste, tangy lime juice, creamy scallop and crispy fried shallots is addictive!
Pairs beautifully with Sake.
