How to make it
- Marinade
- Combine the olive oil, garlic, shallot, tarragon, lime zest and half the lime juice. Toss the scallops with the marinade, and set it aside in the refrigerator for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.
- Caramelized Walnuts
- Place the walnuts in a dry nonstick pan on medium heat. Sprinkle them with the sugar, and cook until they are shiny and brown, 4 to 5 minutes, shaking the pan continuously.
- Heat a heavy-bottom pan over moderate heat for about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil to the pan, and heat.
- Drain the scallops from the marinade, and rest them on a paper towel for a moment to dry. Gently add them to the pan; try not to crowd them together. Do not move them, as that makes the searing process more difficult.
- Cook them on one side for 2 to 3 minutes, until the scallops are browned. Turn them over, and repeat..
