Seared Sea Scallops with Chiffonade Lime Leaf Beurre Blanc

by Frou Frou Feliz

A nice refreshing and healthy seafood small plate with touch of tang from lime leaves and a buttery smooth finish of beurre blanc.

Ingredients: 
2 fresh young lime leaf, chiffonade (can replace with a fresh soft leaf herb)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 large sea scallops
1 Recipe Beurre Blanc

Make Beurre Blanc recipe and set aside.

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Season the scallops on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear each scallop on the first side until it is golden brown and then flip over, about 5 minutes  total, until the scallop is firm, opaque, and just cooked.

Plate the scallops on a bed of beurre blanc. Sprinkle the lime leaf or herb chiffonade over.
