SEARED CURRY SCALLOPS
These curry scallops are perfectly seared, tender and absolutely gorgeous. They're not served in a curry sauce, however. The spices are seared directly into the scallops, giving them a fantastically flavorful crust while not overpowering their rich, natural flavor.

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.
- Pat 5 sea scallops dry and set them in a bowl beside the spiced oil. Slice a lime in half and set one of the halves beside the scallops and oil. You want to have everything easily accessible because the cooking process will be FAST.
- 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.
- Allow them to sear on one side for 1½ minutes without touching them. Flip them over and allow them to sear for 1½ minutes. Quickly add the spice-oil mixture, and flip them, making sure they're smeared in the oil. Allow them to cook for just 30 seconds more.
- Quickly turn off the heat, and spray the pan with lime juice. Allow it to steam for a few seconds. Remove the scallops and serve.

Steps:
- Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan. Once sizzling, add the mushrooms and fry for just a min or two before adding the spinach. Cook on a high heat for about 1 min, allowing the leaves to wilt and soften. Drain the leaves and mushrooms in a sieve or small colander set over a bowl, pressing them gently in the sieve to release the juices (the juices will provide the base for the sauce, so don't discard them). Keep warm to one side.
- Heat the oil in a separate clean frying pan. When very hot, add the scallops. Sauté for a couple of mins without disturbing them at all, then add a knob of butter to the pan. Turn the scallops, season with salt and pepper, then baste with the sizzling butter. Continue to cook for a further couple of mins until the scallops are ready.
- While sautéing the scallops, return the saved spinach juices to the pan the spinach and mushrooms were cooked in, then whisk in the remaining knob of butter to create the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and a grating of nutmeg.
- Now finish in style: Arrange spinach and mushrooms on plates or in bowls, sit the scallops on top, then spoon the nutmeg spinach sauce around.

SARASOTA'S SEARED SCALLOPS WITH SPINACH AND A CURRY SAUCE
Quick, very easy and I like to think a bit healthier, even though it does have cream, it is a lighter sauce. I serve this with some couscous (garnished with scallions and cilantro or parsley for a little flavor) and roasted grape tomatoes (with olive oil and oregano) for a light dinner.

Steps:
- Couscous -- How easy - just heat up the liquid (I use chicken broth, vegetable would work too, or just water) in a bowl in the microwave to a boil. Follow package direction for the amount of liquid needed. Once the water comes to a boil, remove, add the couscous, stir, cover with plastic wrap, and 5 minutes later - it is done. Just set off to the side as the scallops and sauce don't take long to cook. Before serving, I fluff the couscous with a fork and add in the thin sliced scallions, cilantro, salt and pepper.
- Scallops -- As the couscous rests, start the sauce and scallops. In a large sauce pan, heat to medium high and add 2 teaspoons of butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Season the scallops with salt and pepper on each side. And don't forget -- room temperature, you don't want them cold and right out of the refrigerator. Sear the scallops on 1 side until golden brown (it will only take a couple of minutes), and don't move them around - just let them cook. Turn them over and cook another minute until brown, but DON'T over cook, they will continue to cook when you reheat them in the sauce. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm as you make the sauce.
- Sauce -- In the same pan you cooked the scallops, add 1 teaspoon more butter and cook the garlic and onions for 3-4 minutes until tender on medium. Stir in the curry powder and cook another minute until everything is combined and the flavor is absorbed by the onions.
- Puree -- Transfer the curried onions to a blender and add the broth, tomato paste and half and half and pulse a few times until good and creamy. Then return the sauce to the pan and back on medium heat. Not too high because you don't want the cream to curdle. Add in the spinach and toss well, then the scallops and simply cook another minute to let the scallops reheat and the spinach wilts. Check for seasoning one last time. It is done!
- Serve -- Add one (1) cup of couscous to each plate and top with the curried scallops and spinach. Now, I happen to like some roasted grape tomatoes with this, but use your favorite vegetable. ENJOY!
- They are mild but flavorful! ENJOY.
