Method

Preparing the Grilled Scallops

1

Marinate Scallops

In a bowl, toss the scallops with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

2

Grill Scallops

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are opaque and have grill marks.

Making the Seasonal Grain Salad

3

Cook Quinoa

Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

4

Prepare Vegetables

Chop cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Add them to the cooked quinoa along with parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Making the Champagne Butter Sauce

5

Sauté Shallots

In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent.

6

Add Champagne

Pour in champagne and let it reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

7

Finish Sauce

Reduce heat and stir in the remaining butter and heavy cream. Simmer until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.
