Source of Recipe


inmamaskitchen.com


List of Ingredients




3 large red bell peppers
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sea or bay scallops



Recipe



Roast and peel red bell peppers.

Place peppers in a food processor with salt, lemon peel, parsley and cayenne pepper. Process until pureed.

Heat olive oil in saut� pan. When heated, put in scallops. Cook on one side for two minutes. If using sea scallops, turn scallops and cook on other side 2 - 3 minutes more. If using bay scallops, stir and cook for 1 - 2 minutes more.

Put scallops in serving bowl. Pour half the red pepper sauce over scallops and mix well. Put remaining sauce in a bowl to serve on the side.

This can be served with rice, but is especially delicious with polenta.

Serves: 4 - 6






NOTE: Red pepper sauce is very versatile. You can use this on chicken as well as scallops if you omit the lemon. This is spicy with a good dose of cayenne. Adjust to your taste. You can use sea scallops or bay scallops for this recipe. Be sure to dry scallops well before cooking.
