Trinidad Scorpion Chili Scallops

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Important: Always wear protective gloves when handling and make sure to stay in a ventilated area. In an enclosed space, the fumes from these peppers can burn your eyes and throat!
Trinidad scorpion peppers have a slightly floral taste, but this is difficult to detect over the intense heat.
These are used for salsas, chilis, and hot sauces, but be warned: the Scoville rating is up to 1,463,000!

Directions

Dry scallops with paper towels and dust lightly with flour.
Sauté garlic and pepper slices in butter for 1 minute, then add scallops and sauté until golden (dbe careful not to overcook the scallops).
Stir in tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Remove from pan immediately and serve on a plate of freshly cooked spaghetti or mixed greens. Enjoy!
