Hello! Look at us! We’ve made it half way through the week!

Not that I’m trying to rush spring or anything but if you know me even a little then you know that I absolutely love to really lean in to seasonal cooking and this very easy recipe screams warm weather and sunshine!

One of the best things about this delicious recipe is that you can really use whatever you have on hand. Also, there is no true amount to anything either it just depends on how many you’re planning to feed.

what you do:

So, I didn’t use an exact measurement with any of this because you have to do that with your heart. Use as much or as little as you’d like. Simply add cooked couscous to a serving dish, add sautéed veggies, then seafood of choice. Top with fresh basil and a sprinkle of goat cheese.

I have many, but possibly my favorite thing about this dish is how balanced it is. You’ve got your grain, vegetables, protein, and just a touch of dairy. It’s pretty easy on the eyes, too.

I use a lot of fresh basil but for this dish in particular, I think using it really amps up the flavor and brings out the ingrediencies in the best way possible.

For the scallops: Pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan and sear on each side for about 2 minutes. They should release from the pan very easily and not stick. That’s how you know they’re done.

As a very Mediterranean eater, I can’t wait to bring you a ton more fast and fancy seafood recipes (and much more) this season!
