Ingredients

• 12 pieces fresh sea scallops
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
• 1 piece fresno chili, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon maldon sea salt flakes (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Place the scallops on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for about 15 minutes until firm but not frozen solid. This makes them easier to slice thinly.

Step 3

Using a very sharp knife, slice each scallop horizontally into thin, circular slices. Aim for 3 to 4 slices per scallop.

Step 4

Arrange the scallop slices on a chilled serving platter or individual plates in a single layer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, lemon zest, lime zest, sea salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 6

Drizzle the marinade evenly over the scallop slices.

Step 7

Scatter the thinly sliced fresno chili and fresh cilantro leaves over the scallops.

Step 8

Season the carpaccio with maldon sea salt flakes for an added texture and burst of flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately, ensuring the scallops remain cool and fresh.
