Length of time from start to finish: 20 min

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
  • 12 Jumbo scallops
  • 1/2 stick butter (unsalted)
  • 4  garlic cloves minced
  • Juice or 1/2 lime
  • 2 tsp Spanglish asadero Chile y limón seasoningHere is a link to my seasonings https://www.spanglishasadero.com/ use code Fire10
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2lb shishito peppers
Instructions:

-Preheat your skillet on high heat, dry your scallops with a paper towel. It is very important to get a nice sear. Add avocado oil to your scallops 1 tsp, then add your Spanglish asadero Chile y limón, season lightly on both sides.

-Next sear your scallops 2 min per side, do not move them at all.

-Then flip and leave for 1 min to finish cooking. Let them cool for now and make your sauce in the same skillet, (heat on med-low) add butter, 2 tbsp avocado oil, garlic, lime juice and 1 tsp of Chile y limón seasoning, stir consistently until the garlic is nicely browned.

-Then toss your scallops and shishito peppers in that delicious Sauce.

 I used my griddle for this cook. I charred the shishito peppers for about 1 min. If you have a large skillet, add the shishito peppers once you flip the scallops. This is one amazing recipe and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
