Heat oil in a frypan over high heat. Add scallops and cook for 1 minute, then turn and cook for 30 seconds or until just cooked through.

Step 3

Transfer scallops to a bowl with pomelo, coconut, Thai basil, coriander and three-quarters of dressing. Toss gently to combine.

Step 4

Place retained scallop shells on a serving platter and arrange scallop mixture on top. Drizzle over remaining dressing and scatter with chilli.

Step 5

Serve immediately with lime wedges.
