This impressive seafood recipe of seared scallops is quick and delicious.
Scallops are lean sources of protein themselves, and good sources of selenium, a mineral that functions as an antioxidant and plays a role in thyroid health. Antioxidants protect cells and DNA from free radical damage – thought to increase disease risk and accelerate aging.
