Steps:
- Cook the peas in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, then drain, reserving 100ml (1/2 cup) of the cooking water. Blitz two-thirds of the peas with half the extra-virgin olive oil, the reserved cooking water and almost all of the mint leaves. Season and set aside.
- Heat half the olive oil in a frying pan and sear the asparagus until lightly charred and just cooked. Set aside with the unblitzed peas and keep warm.
- Pat the scallops dry with kitchen paper. Add the butter to the hot pan and when it starts to bubble, add the scallops and sear them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, spooning the brown butter over the top after you turn them.
- Put a splodge of pea puree onto four plates, top with the charred asparagus and peas and the golden scallops. Drizzle with the remaining extra-virgin olive oil and scatter with Parmesan shavings and the reserved mint leaves.
