Ingredients

Scallops

  • 1 pound scallops
  • ¼ white wine
  • 2 bay leaf
  • ½ tsp ghee or butter
  • Salt & Pepper

Plantains

  • 2 plantains
  • ½ vegetable oil or ghee

Mango Salsa

  • 1 mango
  • 6 cherry tomatoes
  • ½ jalapeno pepper sliced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 lime juiced
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Mango Salsa

  • Slice the mango into cubes, crisscross and cut into cubes, place in bowl.
  • Slice your tomato and jalapeno in place in bowl.
  • Add spices and lime juice and mix all together and set aside until it's time to top on the scallops.

Plantains

  • Fry one side and when lightly brown flip to the other side, should not take more than a minute.
  • Remove and flatten with a flat wooden spoon.
  • Return to the pan, return to the fry the plantains until it is crispy.
  • Remove the plantains and place on a plate with a paper towel underneath to drain the oil.

Scallops

  • Place the scallops in a bowl and pour the wine and mix with salt and pepper.
  • Add bay leafs and lemon juice, let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Once I'm ready to cook the scallops, I drain them well, and heat a separate pan from the plantains. I add a little ghee and let it get hot, sear one side and flip to the other side until gold color. If the pan gets too hot I will lower the heat down to medium.

Assemble

  • Now I can start layering my plantains, 1. the plantain, 2. top the plantain with the scallop 3. spoon with the mango salsa on top 4. Eat and Enjoy!

Notes

I usually make my sauce first and have it ready once I'm done cooking the plantains and seared scallops.
