Ingredients

yogurt sauce

  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 Jalapenos some of the seeds removed and chopped
  • handful parsley
  • 2 limes juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 clove garlic
  • salt and pepper

scallop burgers

  • 3/4 pound frozen scallops about half way thawed and patted dry.
  • 3 scallons chopped
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

toppings

  • 1 large zucchini julienne peeled or just buy zoodles
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 3 bulkie rolls

Instructions

  • Put all the yogurt ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Add in as many seeds from the jalapenos as desired for your heat level. I did about 40 percent of the total amount of seeds from the 2 jalapenos.
  • Pour into a container and use a spatula to scrape out the bowl of the processor, but do not wash it out.
  • Add the scallops to the food processor and the chopped scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse until you have about pea-sized scallop pieces. Remove from the processor into a bowl.
  • Stir in the breadcrumbs. Form 3 patties and place them on a paper towel. Cover with another paper towel and place in the fridge for a half hour to an hour.
  • Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crisp and remove.
  • In the bacon fat, cook the scallop patties on high heat to sear, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Place a little yogurt sauce on the bottom bread, then top with the scallop patty, then the bacon, the zucchini, more sauce, and the top bun. Serve.
