Scallops with Mango Salsa on Fresh Spinach Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

¼ mango – peeled, pitted, and chopped

¼ red bell pepper, minced

1 small shallot, minced

½ teaspoon minced fresh jalapeno chile

1 dash fresh lime juice

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 teaspoons butter

1 pound large sea scallops

¼ cup water

2 (6 ounce) bags baby spinach leaves

½ cube vegetable bouillon

2 cloves garlic, minced

Methods :

Step 1

Mix the mango, red bell pepper, shallot, jalapeno chile, and lime juice together in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter together in a skillet over high heat. Once the butter melts, add the scallops and cook until opaque and browned on the sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Step 3

Combine the water, vegetable bouillon, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat; bring the mixture to a boil. Add the spinach to the mixture by the handful; cooking until each batch is wilted completely. Remove from heat, squeeze excess moisture from the spinach, and place equal portions into the center of 2 plates. Place half the scallops atop each pile of spinach. Spoon the mango salsa over the scallops.
