Easy, elegant starter: One of the most popular appetizers I've ever served, this combo of low-calorie seafood and antioxidant-rich tomatoes, onions, avocado and cilantro looks and tastes great. Ingredients:
1 pound dry-pack scallops (16-20 count) |
1 cup chopped tomato |
1 cup sliced green onions |
1 avocado, cubed |
1 cup chopped cilantro |
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes, or to taste |
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste |
Directions:
1. In a small pan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add scallops, reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 minutes -- do not overcook. Drain and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut into small (1-inch) pieces. Combine all ingredients. Serve in cocktail glasses.
