Curried Scallops With Spinach Food

SEARED CURRY SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add ½ tsp. curry powder, ¼ tsp. garlic powder, ⅛ tsp. onion powder and ⅛ tsp. cardamom. Add 1 tsp. grapeseed oil and stir. Set beside the oven.

• Place a heavy sauté pan on your hottest burner and turn the heat too HIGH. Allow it to heat for at least 30 seconds before adding 1 tsp. grapeseed oil (not the spice mixture) and quickly add the scallops. Using tongs, make sure they've all touched the oil and spread them out in the pan. NOTE: You may want to use a spatter screen for a minute because the oil will likely sizzle.
