Ingredients

    blank

    • 1 package Alaska Weathervane Scallops

    • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided (1 tbsp for tossing, 1 tbsp for the skillet)

    • 1 tsp paprika

    • 1 tsp garlic powder

    • 1 tsp onion powder

    • 1 tsp ground cumin

    • 1/4 tsp chili powder

    • salt & pepper

    • 1 bag round tortilla chips

    blank

    • 3 large avocados

    • 1 lime, juiced

    • 2 cloves minced garlic

    • 2 tbsp diced cilantro

    • salt & pepper

    • sriracha mayo

    Directions

    1. Thaw scallops, rinse, and pat dry.

    2. In a small bowl, mix spices together.

    3. Add the scallops to a large bowl, toss in 1 tbsp olive oil and the spices until evenly combined.

    4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and sear for 2 minutes per side, flipping once, until a golden crust forms and the centers are just opaque. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

    5. To make the homemade guacamole, mash the avocados and mix with minced garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.

    6. Place round tortilla chips on a platter. Scoop guacamole on top and then press a scallop on each chip.

    7. Optional: garnish with sriracha mayo and cilantro.

    8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
