based on the recipe from Kate Brown Entertains
Makes 10 servings

ingredients

• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 6 Scallions, thinly sliced
• 4 tbsp Sugar
• 6 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 5 tbsp Olive Oil
• 4 tbsp Lime Juice
• 4 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Ginger, grated
• ½ tsp Pepper
• 20 Scallops

instructions

1. Mix the sauce ingredients with a whisk in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and set aside
2. In a medium sauté pan, heat 3 tbsp olive oil.
3. Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
4. When the pan is just starting to smoke, add the scallops and sear approximately 2 – 3 minutes per side. You want a golden sear on the outside, so try not to move them while they are searing.
5. Remove the scallops from heat. Drizzle the sauce on each plate, and place scallops on top.
