Caramelized Scallops Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cauliflower

   Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Almonds and Raisins

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and raisins, sautéing until the almonds are golden and the raisins are plump, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Sear the Scallops

   In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and caramelized. Remove and set aside.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   In the skillet, lower the heat and add the steamed cauliflower, capers, and the almond-raisin mixture. Toss gently to combine, then add the remaining tablespoon of butter to melt through. Serve the scallops on top of the cauliflower mixture.
