Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. thyme
- 2 cups peas
- 1½ lbs. large dry sea scallops tough muscle removed
- ½ tsp. salt divided
- ½ tsp. pepper divided
- 2 cups pea sprouts
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Instructions
- 1. Place a large steamer basket in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and add water to just below the steamer bottom. Add peas to the steamer and top with scallops in a single layer. Sprinkle with thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
