Spooky Eye Balls
with Witch Fingers (Scallops with Asparagus)
Fancy enough for adults, fun enough for kids who like a scare.
Ingredients
Main ingredients:
6-8 scallops, cleaned and patted dry
1 bunch thin asparagus, trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
Pinches of salt & pepper
1 tsp garlic salt (optional, for depth)
For spooky decorations:
Black olive slices → “pupils"
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Witch’s Fingers (Asparagus)
Cut garlic into thin slices.Trim the asparagus so all stalks are about the same length.
Sautéed in olive oil and garlic for 4-5 minutes until soften, season with salt & pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Eyeballs (Scallops)
Pat scallops completely dry. Season with pinch of salt and pepper plus olive oil.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear scallops 2-3 min per side until golden-brown crust forms.
Step 3: Assemble the Spooky Plate
Organize the scallops in the center of the plate.
Place a black olive slice in the center of each scallop - creating a creepy “iris” effect.
Lay the asparagus “witch fingers” in a loose fan.
Serving Tips
Serve on a Halloween-themed plate or platter for maximum spooky effect.
