My saucy sea scallops are popular at dinner parties-plus, they're in my repertoire of easy weekday meals. The seasoning gives the sweet shellfish a pleasant kick. âMaggie Fontenot, The Woodlands, Texas Ingredients:
2 teaspoons chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound sea scallops (about 12) |
2 tablespoons butter, divided |
1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Rub seasoning mixture over scallops.
2. In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Cook scallops for 2 minutes on each side or until opaque and golden brown. Remove from the skillet; keep warm.
3. Add wine to skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in remaining butter until melted. Serve with scallops. Yield: 4 servings.
