Ingredients
  • 4 large day boat scallops
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
  • Vanilla Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 mint leaves, sliced into chiffonade
  • To make vanilla salt, all you do is scrape out the insides of a vanilla bean and put it into a 1/4 cup of salt. Let it sit for 2 days and it'll be ready to use. Easy!!

Directions
  1. Slice each scallop horizontally into four thin disks and arrange on a serving dish. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, then sprinkle with a generous pinch of Vanilla Salt.
  2. Scatter ginger and mint over the dish and serve

Excellent appetizer- very clean on the palette.


I agree with beelzebufo, its really an excellent appetizer. The mint balance your taste palettes before the entree is serve. I've tried it but i replace ginger with japanese pickled ginger (benisyoga). It adds another distinct taste & color to your dish. The White scallops, Green mint, Red-orange ginger, & Yellow lemon slice gives it more elegance. Salamat!!


Oh wow! How exciting is that! I have never heard about crudo before!!! Now I need to know more! Thanks!! Yum!!


Very interesting. I don't know that restaurant. Is it in North Beach?
