Ingredients needed

Sea scallops. I used frozen, cleaned scallops but of course fresh scallops will be so much better. Caper sauce: Capers, fresh lemon juice, fresh parsley, chives, garlic, red chilli or chilli flakes/red pepper flakes (optional), salt and black pepper. You can use either brined capers or salt-packed capers. If using salt-packed capers, be sure to give them a good rinse to get rid of any excess salt. Other fresh herbs like basil or cilantro/coriander can also be used.
