Ingredients

  • 1 pound scallops

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle butter beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 lemon, juiced

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 ½ cups cooked lentils

  • 1 cup arugula, or to taste

Directions

  1. Toss scallops, olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until scallops are completely coated.

  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and transfer scallops to a bowl.

  3. Cook and stir garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add butter beans, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning; cook and stir until beans are slightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir cooked lentils and arugula into skillet; cook and stir until arugula begins to wilt, about 30 seconds.

  4. Pour any accumulated scallop juices from the bowl over arugula; stir scallops into lentil mixture and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper.
