Pan Seared Scallops

[SuperCorona]

Fry 4-6 strips of bacon to a crispy state, remove and drain bacon, pour off half the grease.

Add a dozen or so big sea scallops to pan and sear them in the remaining bacon grease on top and bottom, about a minute per side. Remove the scallops.

Chop 3 cloves of garlic and 6 scallions and add them to the pan. Before they start to burn, add 1/3 cup light rum (I used 10 Cane), to deglaze the pan, and 1/2 cup coconut water. When liquid begins to steam, add the scallops back in and cover for 3-4 minutes.

Remove the scallops to a medium sized bowl and reduce the liquid by half. Crumble the bacon into the liquid and pour over the scallops.

I served the scallops over a bed of wild rice and it was a big hit.

I would think this would work with lobster, monkfish or any other mild, sweet ocean dweller, too.

I gave this recipe a try tonight and it was awesome. I substituted Red Snapper and Baramundi for the scalops and used a mix of Doorly's 5yr and Molases Reef rum and served it over a bed of Roasted Red Pepper and Leek Risoto. I was surprised how well the rum flavor came through. Great recipe...thanks for sharing!!!
