1:1, 90-degree flat lay of crispy fried scallops, golden brown and coated in a flavorful spice blend, centered on a dark slate surface. Scattered around the scallops: coarse sea salt crystals, cracked white pepper, finely chopped parsley, whole star anise, and a small pile of toasted sesame seeds. Subtle side lighting enhances textures of the scallops and slate. Shot on Canon EOS R5, 8K, hyper-realistic, cinematic, natural textures, sharp focus. No CGI, cartoon, anime, doll-like, or artificial elements.
