Scallops cook quickly and are perfect for both a quick weeknight dinner and a special occasion. But the real star of this dish is the juicy coleslaw with refreshing citrus and zesty chili. It perfectly complements the seafood.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.

  • 700 g large sea scallops (about 24 pcs.)

  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the scallops on a plate lined with paper towels and pat dry thoroughly. Transfer to a medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1.5 teaspoons of coriander; season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges. Holding the orange over a bowl, cut between the membranes and release the segments, allowing them to fall into the bowl. Transfer the orange segments to a large bowl.

  3. Refueling:

    Combine 1 tablespoon of orange juice in a small bowl with the lime juice, fish sauce, the remaining 1 teaspoon of cilantro, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Stir and set aside. Place the cabbage, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and peanuts in a large bowl with the oranges and set aside.
  4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops, spreading them out in an even layer. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  5. Turn the scallops over and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes more.
  6. Add the dressing to the kale and orange salad and toss well; season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the salad among plates and top with the scallops.
