Detailed Description of the Scallop Appetizer Special:
Three luscious scallops expertly seared to produce a delicate golden crust are the centerpiece of Southern Roots’ culinary masterpiece, the Scallop Appetizer Special. A rich, slightly tart tamarind butter drizzled over each scallop is complemented by a hint of acidity from the aromatic oil of basil and scallions. The meal is topped with apple slices for a little sweetness and served over a velvety smooth parsnip purée that contrasts nicely with the creamy scallops. At $18, this delicious appetizer is a must-try for seafood enthusiasts and a demonstration of the restaurant’s dedication to flavor and quality.
