Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup fresh tangerine juice (about 5 tangerines)
1/2 cup seeded, thinly sliced kumquats
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 tbsp fresh tangerine juice
1/2 tsp ancho chile powder
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 tsp salt
40 sea scallops (about 3 lb)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp butter
8 tsp chopped pistachios

Directions:

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until slightly thick.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Combine 2 tablespoons tangerine juice, chile powder, red pepper, and salt in a large bowl; add scallops, tossing gently to coat. Add scallops to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan; keep warm. Add wine to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; bring to a boil. Add kumquat mixture and butter. Reduce heat to low; stir until butter melts. Arrange 5 scallops on each of 8 plates; top each serving with 3 tablespoons sauce; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon nuts.
