Pan-Fried Scallops with Chilli Flakes

Time

Serves

Ingredients

• 200g Field & Flower Scallops, roe removed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chilli flakes
• Knob of butter
• Seasoning to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan until nice and hot. Pat the scallops dry with kitchen towel, then place carefully into the pan, applying downwards pressure on the scallops for the first few seconds.
2. Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, avoiding moving them around in the pan. Turn the scallops over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cooked through.
3. In the final 30 seconds of cooking time add the butter and chilli flakes to the pan, spooning the butter over the scallops as they cook.
4. Serve with cracked black pepper, a squeeze of lemon (if liked) and fresh rocket leaves.
