Tips & Variations 💡
- For a spicier kick: Add extra cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to both the scallops and sauce.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Sear in batches if needed to prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Pairing suggestions: Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or coconut rice for a complete meal.
- Alternative proteins: The sauce pairs beautifully with shrimp, fish, or grilled chicken too!
