Rosemary Scallops
Makes 2-3 Servings | 25 min + Marination Time
One of the best ways to preserve the freshness of the seafood is to marinate it in olive oil. The olive oil creates a barrier against oxygenation, adds a peppery edge of tremendous flavor to seafood such as sweet scallops. The sweet herbaceous flavor of rosemary brings this dish together. Add heavy cream or coconut milk to make it saucier. Enjoy it with rice or boiled pasta.
