This low-FODMAP seared scallops recipe is simple and elegant.  Scallops are a delicious source of low-fat protein and my absolute favorite seafood.  Low-FODMAP scallops melt in your mouth when prepared in this low-FODMAP dish!  The basil and tomatoes add an aromatic medley that compliments the flavors perfectly.

This is the ideal low-FODMAP meal for a romantic dinner for two.  Serve with my creamy low-FODMAP risotto and make it even better.

    I made this with mushrooms and fresh spinach tossed with gluten free gnocchi And it was delicious. Serve with lemon wedges.

      Many mushrooms are high in FODMAPs, so for our other readers we want to ensure that they remain cautious in their selections:
      Oyster mushrooms and canned mushrooms are low-FODMAP in servings of 75 g per person.
