Ingredients
1 3/4 lb. – Large, Dry Sea Scallops
- 1/2 C – Vegetable or Chicken Broth
Directions
Add oil to a large frying pan and heat over high until sizzling.
Add scallops one ate a time, flat side down.
- Let the scallops cook, over high heat until they are brown and caramelized – a good 3-4 minutes. *You’ll know they are ready to flip over when they release- if they stick, they’re not ready!*
Flip over and cook for 1 minute on the other side.
- Put the pan back over high heat and add broth.
Deglaze the pan by gently scraping all brown bits off the bottom.
Add Balsamic Mosto Cotto and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.
- Place scallops over a portion of Garlic Wilted Spinach or Cauliflower Rice and drizzle with sauce.
- Enjoy! Serves 4.
