Butter Seared Scallop, Grapefruit, Aioli & Radish

Start your meal by showcasing our fresh east coast sea scallop! Serves as an appetizer for two, or double the recipe and serve with your starch of choice as a main course! 

Serves 2

4 fresh East Coast Scallops*

2 Tbsp butter

4 Tbsp Stonewall sriracha or roasted garlic aioli*

2 large purple or red radishes cut into thin rounds

1 small ripe grapefruit, rind and seeds removed, cut into roughly 1” segments 

Maldon flaked sea salt to finish*

 *items you can find at Newman’s Fish Market 

Pat scallops dry with a paper towel and sprinkle them with sea salt. In a medium sized non-stick sauté pan over high heat, melt butter until it is sizzling hot and sear the scallops, 1 minute on top and bottom. While they are searing, place a large dollop of aioli on each small serving plate and use the back of a spoon to smear it into a teardrop shape. Plate your scallop on top of the aioli and place the sliced radish and grapefruit in between the scallops. Sprinkle with Maldon salt and enjoy!
