Spaghetti with Seared Scallops, Tomato and Finger Lime

Spaghetti with Seared Scallops, Tomato and Finger Lime – Recipe

Finger limes are an indigenous Australian fruit. As the name reflects, they’re not round like a regular lime but long and thin like fingers. When cut they are full of ‘pearls’ which resemble caviar. Scoop out of the skin and scatter over seafood dishes for a showstopper.
