Ingredients
- 8 large fresh sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup microgreens
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the scallops in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will firm them up slightly, making them easier to slice thinly.
Step 2
Remove the scallops from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice each scallop horizontally into very thin slices, aiming for about 3-4 slices per scallop.
Step 3
Arrange the scallop slices on a serving platter in a single, overlapping layer.
Step 4
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, lime zest, orange zest, and extra virgin olive oil. Whisk together until well mixed.
Step 5
Drizzle the citrus and olive oil mixture evenly over the arranged scallop slices.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh chives and roughly tear the mint leaves. Sprinkle them over the scallops.
Step 7
Season the scallops lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
Step 8
Garnish with microgreens, spreading them evenly across the dish.
Step 9
Allow the scallop carpaccio to sit for about 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a refreshing and elegant appetizer.
