Low-FODMAP Seared Scallops with Cherry Tomatoes; Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Printer Friendly Version

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.
