Honey Sriracha Scallops - outrageously delicious scallops in sticky sweet, savory and mildly spicy honey Sriracha sauce. Every bite is bursting with fresh and juicy goodness.
I love scallops and I always buy scallops from Costco. They are always huge, fresh and untreated, meaning the scallops are not treated with water so the flavor is original, like how they are supposed to be.
If you don’t know where to buy fresh scallops, Costco is the best!
Honey Garlic Sauce
One of the sauces I love for my protein is honey sriracha sauce. It takes only a few ingredients but the sauce adds so much flavors to the dish.
For my recipe, you will need honey, Sriracha, apple cider vinegar and salt.
When you combine fresh scallops and the sauce together, you will get this outrageously delicious Honey Sriracha Scallops.
The scallops are perfectly cooked, with nicely browned garlic, with the sticky, sweet, gooey, mildly spicy and savory sauce.
Drizzle the sauce all over the scallops and eat them as it or over rice, for example: Cilantro Lime Rice or a simple spaghetti, and you will have the most amazing dinner ever. I promise.
How To Make Honey Sriracha Scallops
Sprinkle some black pepper over the scallops to season them.
Alright, for the sauce, just mix together the honey, Sriracha, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Stir it all up until it’s nice and smooth.
Heat up some olive oil in a skillet (cast iron is best if you’ve got it) over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and let it cook for a second until it starts turning light brown. Then, throw in the scallops and cook them for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Once they’re nice and golden, pour in that Honey Garlic Sauce you made earlier and let it all sizzle together.
Flip the scallops over and let them cook for another minute or so, making sure they’re cooked all the way through. While that’s happening, let the sauce cook down and thicken up a bit. Once it’s nice and glossy, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top, take it off the heat, and serve it right away. You’re all set!
