Pan-fried Scallops with Sesame Lime Sauce

Step 2 Prepare seasoning

Mix ground pepper into either flour or starch, creating a nice mix as shown below. You can also use chili powder or other ground spices, but I prefer a simple mix to bring out that great scallop flavor without overshadowing it.

We usually use flour, but did a parallel run with potato starch today. The results were quite similar, but we slightly preferred the starch-dipped scallops. This preference might disappear in a double-blind experiment, but we can't be bothered when hungry.
