This low-FODMAP seared scallops recipe is simple and elegant. Scallops are a delicious source of low-fat protein and my absolute favorite seafood. Low-FODMAP scallops melt in your mouth when prepared in this low-FODMAP dish! The basil and tomatoes add an aromatic medley that compliments the flavors perfectly.
This is the ideal low-FODMAP meal for a romantic dinner for two. Serve with my creamy low-FODMAP risotto and make it even better.
