Instructions

  1. Take your scallops and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Place a pan over a medium heat and add the butter.
  3. Once the butter has melted add the scallops, and place the halved lime cut side down into the pan.
  4. Season the scallops with salt
  5. Cook until cooked through and golden. Around 3 minutes, stirring a couple of times while cooking.
  6. Turn the heat off and add the coriander, and using tongs, squeeze the juice of the limes over the scallops. Taste the sauce and add more salt if needed.
  7. Add the chilli and serve straight away.
