Restaurant-style Pepitas Crusted Scallops Recipe with Avocado Crema (video)
This recipe was entirely an experiment. It was based very loosely on something we had had at a restaurant, but that was more of a rice and plantain hash with little bay scallops in it. This dish is a little more like what you'd find at a slightly upscale non-chain restaurant, and the flavours here all work so well together, you'll be absolutely amazed.
We weren't without our missteps here. The avocado was a little underripe, so the texture of the crema was not quite right, but it was still delicious. Also, the plantain may have been a little overripe (or maybe we just paid too much attention to it), so it didn't end up with lots of nice little crispy cubes of plantain, but rather more of a mash with some excellent little toasty bits. It wasn't exactly what we wanted when we set out, but it was still incredibly delicious.
