The sauce is quite simple to make but the flavors are exquisite. Big words lol but it is true! The spicy yuzu sauce make it creamy, slightly sweet, spicy and has the most floral kick of acid coming from the yuzu. The flavors on this dish are truly a dream. Scallops are one of my favorite things to cook for myself and others because I feel like they are truly a low effort, high reward meal! They are super versatile and almost always a crowd pleaser.

0 Cut the foot off the scallops and season. 1 Preheat a pan for 2 minutes on high. Add some olive oil. 2 Sear the scallops, giving them a little shake. Let them sit unbothered for 3-5 minutes depending on size. Flip and sear another 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan. 4 Add in scallions, Fresno Chile, garlic and ginger. Sauté on medium for 2-3 minutes with the sesame oil. 5 Add in coconut milk and Gochujang. Scrape the pan for the scallop drippings. Simmer for 5 minutes.
