Scallops sautéed in olive oil with garlic and green pebre sauce are a true delight for seafood lovers. This Latin American recipe combines the tenderness of scallops with the spicy freshness of pebre sauce. The sauce, originating from Chilean cuisine, complements the dish with bright notes of cilantro, lemon, and chili pepper. A light blanching process preserves the juiciness of the seafood, while subtle aromatic accents make the flavor multifaceted. The dish is served with traditional milcao – a potato flatbread with basil and crispy bacon, adding texture and richness. Perfect for a special dinner where you want to feel the freshness of the sea breeze in every bite.
