Recipe: Citrus Avocado Scallops

Let’s dive into why every component of this recipe deserves a spot on your plate:

🍽 Ingredient Breakdown & Benefits

🐚 1 Pound Frozen Small Scallops

Scallops are a low-calorie, high-protein seafood rich in:

  • Lean protein (35–40g per serving!) to support metabolism, muscle repair, and fullness

  • Vitamin B12, which promotes nerve function and brain health

  • Omega-3 fatty acids, shown to reduce inflammation and support heart health

  • Selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight oxidative stress

They’re quick to cook and perfect for clean, anti-inflammatory meals.

🥑 2 Ripe Avocados

Creamy, nutrient-dense, and full of heart-loving fats, avocados bring:

  • Monounsaturated fats to help reduce LDL cholesterol and support brain function

  • Potassium to help balance blood pressure

  • Fiber (10–12g per serving) to aid digestion and regulate blood sugar

  • Antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin that support eye health

This avocado mash acts as a creamy, healing base for the dish.

🍊 1 Orange + 1 Pink Grapefruit (Zest & Segments)

Citrus fruits bring serious glow-up power with:

  • Vitamin C, which boosts immunity and collagen production

  • Flavonoids, plant compounds that fight inflammation and free radicals

  • Natural detoxification support through liver-friendly enzymes

The zest adds brightness to the scallops, while the segments provide juicy, refreshing contrast.

🍋 1 Lemon, Juiced

Lemon juice not only adds flavor but:

  • Aids digestion and alkalizes the body

  • Supports detoxification through enhanced liver enzyme activity

  • Enhances absorption of iron and other minerals from plant-based foods

🧅 1 Small Shallot, Minced

Shallots contain sulfur compounds that:

  • Support liver detoxification

  • Provide antimicrobial benefits

  • Add prebiotic fiber that feeds gut-friendly bacteria

They bring a delicate onion flavor without overpowering the citrus.

🌿 2 Tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Chives, Parsley, or Cilantro)

These greens are more than garnish:

  • Parsley is rich in vitamin K and folate

  • Cilantro helps remove heavy metals from the body

  • Chives offer anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties

Fresh herbs enhance flavor and functionality.

🫒 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Divided between the avocado base and the scallops, olive oil:

  • Provides oleocanthal, an anti-inflammatory compound

  • Boosts nutrient absorption

  • Supports satiety and blood sugar balance

It’s a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet—and for good reason.

💡 Why This Dish Supports an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle

  • Reduces inflammation naturally

  • Stabilizes blood sugar with fiber + fat

  • Supports heart, brain, and gut health
