    makes 48

Ingredients

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
24 sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds), halved

5 romaine lettuce leaves, very thinly sliced
Olive oil cooking spray

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the flour, cayenne pepper, cumin, coriander, salt, and cardamom in a small bowl. Dip each halved scallop into the flour mixture to coat.

    Step 2

    Place the daikon rounds on a serving platter. Top each with shredded lettuce; set aside.

    Step 3

    Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with olive oil spray, add the coated scallops, and sear until light golden brown and cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer each seared scallop half to a daikon round. Serve warm or at room temperature.
