Scallops with Arugula, Lentils, and Butter Beans

Scallops with Arugula, Lentils, and Butter Beans
  • 1 pound scallops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle butter beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils
  • 1 cup arugula, or to taste


  1. Toss scallops, olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until scallops are completely coated.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and transfer scallops to a bowl.
  3. Cook and stir garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add butter beans, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning; cook and stir until beans are slightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir cooked lentils and arugula into skillet; cook and stir until arugula begins to wilt, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour any accumulated scallop juices from the bowl over arugula; stir scallops into lentil mixture and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper.
