Blue Heaven Scallops

Total Time: 8 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 3 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 lb scallops
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1/2 tomato, diced
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
• 1/4 lb mushroom, sliced
• 1 teaspoon capers
• 1/4 cup wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth
• butter, slices

Recipe

• 1 this is an edited version of the original, but oh so yum! i used some swanson's fat free broth vs. wine, mainly because it's what i had, and i added the capers because i like them!
• 2 the trick is to use a very hot pan to sear the scallops. i used the large sea scallops and i sprayed the pan with cooking spray first. then you quickly add the garlic. when done quickly, it browns the scallops slightly and thus you get a brownish sauce to go along.
• 3 add the tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, capers which will cool down the pan so the scallops and garlic stop cooking.
• 4 cook for just a minute, add the wine or broth, stir it up to get the scrapings into the sauce (like clarifying?) and simmer for a minute or two.
• 5 remove from heat and add the butter slice, swirl it to finish the sauce.
• 6 this is some good stuff fit for a very special occasion. i served with shrimp scampi, asparagus with hollandaise, and garlic bread which was a great way to enjoy all those flavors as dipping sauces.
