Ingredients

  • 1 pound scallops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

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

Stir cooked lentils and arugula into skillet; cook and stir until arugula begins to wilt, about 30 seconds.
