Grilled Scallops with Nori and Lime Mayo has a fabulous presentation. But more than that, I love how all of the individual elements combine to create subtle scallop taste bombs. This recipe is the perfect balance of the taste of the sea from the scallops and nori, a bit of heat from the crushed red pepper flakes, a slight crunch from the scallions finished with the creamy tartness of the lime mayo. Each bite drew me in deeper and my taste buds wanted more!
