SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Day-boat scallops, the kind that are dry-packed (never frozen or dosed with preservatives), are what you want for this decadent but very simple dish. The scallops are seared on cast iron, but gradually, for a crisp, well-browned surface that intensifies their natural sweetness. Ginger, lime and hot pepper enhance the rich meatiness of all fresh seafood, and here especially so. A roasted sweet potato and a pile of blanched bok choy complete this quintessentially elegant, fast-food meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes and wrap them tightly in foil. Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you are using larger sweet potatoes, they may require 15 minutes more in the oven.)
- Using a paring knife, remove the small hard "foot" from the edge of each scallop. Pat scallops dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Put on a medium pot of salted water to boil for the greens.
- Meanwhile, make the ginger butter: Combine butter, ginger, chile and lime zest and juice and stir together until well incorporated. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Take a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the scallops without crowding and place over medium-high heat. Add a film of olive oil. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the scallops in one layer and let them sizzle. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for at least 5 minutes. Use a small spatula to check the scallops as they brown, allowing them to color gradually. They should be quite crisp and well caramelized. Turn off heat and flip scallops. Leave in pan until firm to the touch.
- While the scallops are cooking, blanch the bok choy: Cook it for 1 minute in the salted boiling water, then drain and blot on a kitchen towel. Keep warm.
- Remove and place scallops, browned side up, onto warmed serving plates. Surround with the bok choy leaves and halved or sliced sweet potatoes.
- Quickly warm the butter in the cast-iron pan and spoon over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

Steps:
- Pat the scallops dry and set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat in a large skillet and add the garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, 1 minute, then sprinkle with the flour. Combine well and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and light gold in color, about 2 minutes longer.
- Add the cream and sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Slowly stir in the lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to a rich, creamy consistency, 3 to 4 minutes more, then stir in the scallions and half of the chopped cilantro. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Wipe out the pan, return it to the stove and add the remaining tablespoon of butter along with the vegetable oil.
- Turn the heat to medium-high and once hot, add the scallops in a single layer.
- Note: The scallops need about 3/4-inch of space between them in order to sear properly. If the pan seems overcrowded, cook them in 2 batches.
- Sear the scallops until they develop a golden crust on the outside, 1-1/2 minutes per side (see notes).
- To serve, spoon a portion of sauce onto individual serving plates, top with scallops and garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro.

- Repeat until remaining scallops are cooked, tossing each batch with parsley and lemon juice.

- To make the endive, melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Season the endive with salt and pepper and place cut side down in the skillet. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes.

- To make the scallops, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, place them in the skillet and sear until lightly browned and warm in the center, about 1 minute per side.
- To make the sauce, combine the shallot, garlic, ginger, lime juice and port in a nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until nearly all of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until all is incorporated. Strain the sauce and season with salt, pepper and a touch of cayenne. Keep warm.
- To serve, place 1 endive half on each of 6 plates. Divide the scallops among the plates and spoon the sauce over and around them. Sprinkle with the scallions and tomato. Serve immediately.
