Recipe: Seared scallops in grapefruit shallots sauce

Chop green onions (for garnish later) and shallots. Shallots are in the onion family so I cried a bit in this chopping process.

Sauté shallots in olive oil.

Squeeze grapefruit juice, stir juice and white wine vinegar into skillet with shallots.

Season scallops and sear. I find scallops are most tender when you just leave them alone and flip after three minutes on each side, even though the temptation is there to poke and prod at them.. don’t!

Pour grapefruit shallots sauce over seared scallops and garnish with chopped green onions. Perfect light protein that we paired with asparagus and basil garlic gnocchi (not pictured). The white wine vinegar and citrus tang of the grapefruit sauce complemented the tender texture of the scallops and gave it just the right bite.

    Did you use flour when seasoning the scallops as well?

    In a similar sense, businesses would be wise to offer their workers something
    to unite under. She invites you to visit her site where she is going to share a proven method to start an internet
    business. The business degree raises one's social standing: in simple terms, it opens for you personally doors that would have otherwise
    remained closed for you.

    Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one
    and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam remarks?
    If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or
    anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me insane
    so any support is very much appreciated.

    The internet is still very new to South Africa and
    has only just begun to catch on. Google gets invaluable information through the challenge.
    This can be very difficult because your commitment to that course means that
    you are also committing to keeping up with the work schedule.
