Description:
Seared Diver Scallops have a rich sweet flavor and take no time prepare.  Overcooking seafood can happen quickly, but follow my recipe and remember, buying 'Dry' Vs 'Wet' Scallops is important to eating healthy, sustainable seafood.  Read more here. 


Notes:
Pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc or French Chardonnay. 
	Like most seafood, Scallops are easy to over cook.  Better to undercook than overcook, as fresh scallops can be served crudo or sushimi-style (raw)
