Method

  1. 1

    Take the scallops (120 g) out 20 minutes before cooking and pat them thoroughly dry with kitchen paper.

  2. 2

    Sweat the chopped shallot (20 g) for 4 minutes with 3 g of olive oil, add the peas (120 g) and 80 ml of water, then cook for 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend with the mint (5 g), then pass through a fine sieve for a perfectly smooth purée; keep warm.

  4. 4

    Segment the grapefruit (60 g) and collect the juice that runs out.

    Whisk that juice with 3 g of olive oil, salt and pepper to make the dressing.

  6. 6

    Heat a pan until it smokes, add 2 g of oil and sear the scallops for 70 seconds per side without moving them: the centre should stay translucent.
