Steps

  1. Make the crema: stir the sour cream with half the lime juice and a pinch of salt.

  2. Toss the cabbage and cilantro with the rest of the lime juice and a pinch of salt.

  3. Toss the scallops with the seasoning.

  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot and turn on the vent fan. Add the oil and butter, then the scallops in one layer. Cook 1 minute without moving them, toss, and cook about 1 minute more, until dark outside and opaque all the way through.

  5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or over a gas flame, a few seconds a side.

  6. Fill the tortillas with slaw, scallops, crema and avocado. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce.
