Recipe

Pat the pen shell scallops completely dry with a paper towel and lightly season with salt and black pepper.
In a saucepan or pan, combine 200ml orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, and chopped peperoncino peppers. Reduce over high heat.
Once the sauce has thickened, add 20g butter and basil to finish the tangy orange sauce. Set aside briefly.
Heat a pan, add olive oil, and place the dried scallops in the pan.
Sear the scallops over high heat for about 1 minute per side until the surface is golden brown.
Plate the grilled scallops, drizzle with the prepared orange sauce, and garnish with basil to serve.

Pat the scallops dry and season with salt and black pepper.
Reduce orange juice, honey, and lemon juice to make the orange sauce.
Sear the scallops in a pan until golden, then top with the sauce to finish.

Cooking tips

Before searing, thoroughly pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to prevent water from releasing in the pan and to achieve a crispy exterior.
Scallops become tough if overcooked, so the key is to quickly sear only the surface over high heat, as if searing.
