Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons basil oil
  • 2 ears of corn kernels removed
  • 1 medium zucchini small dice
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 fresh scallops muscle removed
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the basil oil in a small saute pan set over medium-high heat. Add the corn, zucchini, and shallot; saute until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel, season with salt and pepper. Place the scallops into the hot pan and sear, about 2 minutes per side (take care not to over-cook). 
  • To serve: Place the corn mixture into the bottom of wide warmed bowls, top with the scallops and pour the juice from the pan over.
