I spotted these beautiful Peruvian Scallops in the Butcher Shop and just HAD to get a couple of pounds! Peruvian Scallops, also known as “Golden Nuggets of the Sea” by local fishermen, and are raised in the waters off the cost of Peru in the Sechura Bay. They are gathered, shucked, and frozen the same day which ensures highest quality, tenderness and taste.

  1. This looks delish. Can’t wait to try it.
    Question though: are those sea scallops or bay scallops? The bowl looks like bay scallops, which I love but in the picture of the finished dish they look much smaller, like bay scallops. Did you cut them – or could I, if I want to use the large ones?
    Also, I like how simple and fast this looks (that’s huge for me) and it looks like it would be easy to substitute any seafood (or even chicken) for a change of pace.
