It is a wonderful way to enjoy seafood, providing a peppery kick that contrasts beautifully with the naturally sweet flavour of the scallops.

This dairy-free main course is served alongside a bright, refreshing salad featuring zesty tangerines, crisp cucumber and aromatic tarragon. Light yet satisfying, the dish is ideal for a quick midweek meal or an elegant alfresco dinner during the warmer months. The citrus dressing ties everything together, making it a nutritious choice for those seeking a protein-rich, low-fat seafood recipe.
