  • The scallops are cut into 2 or 3 slices (depending on how thick they are).
  • In a deep plate, mix the lemon juice with a tablespoon of olive oil and pepper. Place the scallops inside and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the red pepper sauce. Pat the peppers dry and place them in a food processor. Add garlic and olive oil and puree.
  • Strain (if it's very lumpy) and add salt and pepper. A little lemon juice is added, to taste.
  • Remove the scallops from their marinade and dry them.
  • Heat the other tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet until hot. Add the scallops and quickly sear them over high heat until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the scallops and serve them on plates decorated with red pepper sauce and cilantro sprigs.
