Kaffir Lime Scallops With Browned Butter
- 1/2 pound sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2-3 kaffir lime leaves per scallop
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (can sub cayenne or other chili pepper)
- 1 teaspoon chives, minced
- toothpicks
- Dry scallops well with paper towels. Skewer the kaffir lime leaves around the sides of the scallops, making sure the flat sides are still exposed so you can get a nice brown on them. Sprinkle with the aleppo or cayenne and some salt to taste.
- Warm the butter and oil in a frying pan until the butter starts to brown (but be careful not to let it burn). Gently place the scallops in the pan and allow to brown fully on one side before turning (about 2 minutes). Flip them gently once browned, and add the chives to the butter. Cook for another minute and then they're done! Remove leaves at the table before eating.
