Sea Scallops and Mango With Parmesan Wafer
- 34 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 12 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 13 cups mangoes
- 12 teaspoon lime juice
- 14 cup cilantro
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 scallops
- Prepare the Parmesan wafers.
- Combine 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan (reserve the remaining cheese) with the flour in a small bowl.
- On the left half of a large nonstick skillet, pour 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture, and use the back of the measuring spoon to spread it into a thin disk, about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Repeat with another tablespoon of the cheese mixture, setting it on the right half of the skillet so the two disks don't touch.
- Set the skillet over high heat until the cheese is bubbly and is just starting to turn golden.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 30 seconds.
- Using a thin spatula, loosen the disks cautiously from the skillet, and transfer onto a rolling pin to give them a curved shape, working quickly so the wafers won't have time to harden.
- Let cool completely.
- Rinse the skillet under cold water to cool it down, wipe it dry, and repeat to make two more wafers.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mango with the remaining cheese, lime juice, and cilantro leaves.
- Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Set the scallops upright in the pan and cook for 3 minutes (1 minute for bay scallops) without disturbing them, until a golden crust forms at the bottom.
- Flip the scallops with locking tongs and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes (1 minute for bay scallops).
- The top and bottom of the scallops should be opaque, but the centre should remain transparent.
- Divide the mango mixture among four plates, arranging it to form a round layer.
- Top with three sea scallops (or a fourth of the bay scallops) and a Parmesan wafer.
- Garnish with a stem of cilantro and serve immediately.
