scallops - my version

[fshsltwtr]

picked up some fat sea scallops at Sunny's (Boston Fish Pier).

preheated the fry pan until nice hot....in the meantime,

1-2 T Olive Oil
1-2 T honey
1/2 - 1 shallot
juice of 1 lime - i use lime instead of lemon..more flavor IMO
1 T +/- dijon mustard OR 1 T +/- whole grain mustard
< 1/4c chopped parsley or cilantro - depends on taste
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper

combine, should be pasty in texture. let sit for <20-30 minutes....with all seafood, i don't like to marinade for much more than 20-30min. takes away from the taste of the fish...IMO.

Remove and pat dry, save marinade.

1-2 T olive oil - not extra virgin!! (burns at high temps).
for extra 'flavor' add a T of unsalted butter to oil...oil will prevent butter from burning.

arrange scallops in pan so they don't touch and there's enough room so when you turn them, they are on a fresh part of the pan.

after 2min, maybe 2 1/2min, flip.

after 1 min, add marinade - if you choose.

cook for another 1-2 minutes...remove...pour cooked marinade on scallops...

serve over bed of lettuce

enjoy!
