SEARED SCALLOPS IN BLUEBERRY SAUCE
We all know that the seafood and fruit combination is divine, right? Searing these tasty scallops and combining them with a sweet blueberry sauce delivers a treat for the senses coupled with that wonderful marshmallow-ly texture of each bite.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 bag of Wild Caught Icelandic Scallops
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
- Small handful of fresh basil, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup in saucepan and bring to a slow boil on medium high heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, turn heat down to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes while searing scallops.
- Pat scallops dry. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat skillet on medium high heat for 1-2 minutes
- Add scallops and sear on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Turn over and cook till brown on the other side. Once golden, remove from pan and place on platter. (If cooking the whole bag, you’ll have to do it in batches to ensure even cooking. Give them lots of space and do not have them touching.)
- Add chopped fresh thyme and basil to blueberry sauce and stir just before pouring on scallops
Recipe Notes
If serving 4 persons appetizers, you’ll only need half a bag. Usually 3-4 scallops per person is plenty.
If serving more than four or serving as a main course definitely use the whole bag.
