2 oz horseradish
1/2 oz lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
8 oz mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 lbs sea scallops
vegetable oil
Whisk sauce ingredients together and warm over low heat.
Slice any large scallops. In a heavy pan heat 1" of oil using a high heat. Fry the scallops, until close to done ,as they will keep cooking, about three minutes. Scallops will cause a mess so consider using a pan with a cover.
Move the scallops into the pan with the sauce to coat them.
