Ingredients:

  • Spice The Sea (Nativo Spices)

  • Rosemary Salt (Nativo Spices)  & pepper

  • 1 lbs sea scallops, side muscle removed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 shallot finely diced

  • 2 garlic cloves minced

  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

  • 2/3 cup dry white wine

  • 1 1/4 cups tomatoes, diced seeds removed

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 1/3 cup basil, chiffonade

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold

  • Pinch of dried thyme

Method:

  • Heat cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Add olive oil.

  • Thoroughly pat scallops dry and lightly season with salt, pepper, and thyme.

  • Place scallops in the pan, careful not to crowd. Allow them to sear 1 1/2 minutes before flipping and allowing them to sear about the same on the other side.

  • You will see a golden crust begin to form on the side while the middle remains white and opaque.

  • They should also feel slightly firm to the touch but still sprig back.

  • Remove to a plate.

  • Add shallots, garlic, and crushed red pepper.

  • Season with a pinch of salt and sauté 2-3 minutes.

  • Add wine and allow to come to a simmer.

  • Add tomatoes and continue to cook until wine is reduced by half.

  • Take off heat and 1 tbsp at a time stir in the butter.

  • Stir in the basil and lemon zest.

  • Add the scallops back to the pan along with any drippings.

¡ENJOY IT!
