Step 1
Start by chopping the scallops into bite-sized pieces and putting them in a big bowl. Peel and segment the clementines, then add them along with diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, and sliced scallions. Squeeze in the juice of a lemon and a lime for that bright, tangy kick. Mince the garlic and toss it in, then sprinkle in a handful of chopped cilantro. Drizzle everything with olive oil and give it a good stir to combine. Season with salt to taste. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for about two hours, stirring every once in a while so all those flavors meld together nicely. When it’s ready, give it one last taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is light and full of fresh flavors that brighten your palate. It combines the sweetness of scallops with zesty citrus and a hint of spice, making it perfect for warm days or as an elegant appetizer. It’s quick to prepare and feels special without much effort.
How to serve
Serve chilled in small bowls or on crisp tostadas. Pair it with thin slices of avocado or a side of crunchy plantain chips for added texture. A cold white wine or a light beer complements the bright flavors beautifully.
Storage & leftovers
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for best freshness. Avoid storing it too long, as the citrus will continue to "cook" the scallops, which can change the texture and taste.
