Carpaccio di Capesante

Hey guys! I thought it would be nice to share an old recipe of mine that would be great during this time of year. Scallops happen to be one of my favorite "sea" ingredients to cook. They are extremely versatile, and can be eaten raw or cooked. My personal favorite? I love making scallop ceviche. I've made it in a few different ways, but this time I thought I would have a throw back to my scallop carpaccio dish. Super easy to make and definitely an impressive dish to make for guests or for a date night.
