Scallops in a pan
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Pan-fried scallops with lime butter are already an exquisite and delicious dish in themselves. However, I also recommend enhancing them with a spicy sauce before serving. I highly suggest taking note of this wonderful idea. The finished dish is now ready to be served.

4. If you want to make the sauce, mince the garlic and combine it with sugar, vinegar, water, and chili flakes. Place the mixture over heat and cook for about 3 minutes after it comes to a boil. Separately, dissolve the starch in 2 tablespoons of water and pour it into the sauce. Stir, simmer for another couple of minutes, then remove from heat.
