Pan-Seared Scallops and Zucchini Noodles with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Doesn’t this look GOOD?!

2 servings
Ingredients:

• 6 oz. jarred roasted red peppers, drained (look for ones without any added sugar)
• ½ cup unsweetened original almond or cashew milk
• 2 oz. avocado
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic
• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
• ¼ tsp salt, divided
• 2 small zucchini, ends removed, cut into spaghetti-like strands with spiralizer, mandolin, or julienne peeler
• ½ tbsp butter
• 1 lb. raw scallops

Directions:

1. In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, milk, avocado, lemon juice, garlic, crushed red pepper, and half of the salt. Puree until smooth.
2. Heat roasted red pepper sauce in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add zucchini noodles, stir to incorporate, and continue cooking until cooked to your liking, another 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season scallops with remaining salt. Cook scallops until golden brown on each side and translucent in the center, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
4. Serve scallops atop zucchini noodles.
