Scallops and Bacon
Ingredients:
Food Mall: Fresh Sea Scallops |
■1 oz. uncured, nitrate-free bacon
■5 fresh sea scallops
■1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil■Salt (to taste)
■Pepper (to taste)
■2 tablespoons lime juice
■1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions:
Slice bacon crosswise into thin pieces, cooking on a medium-high skillet until crisp but not dry. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel or dish.
In a small bowl, add 1 tbsp olive oil and a few squeezes of fresh lime juice. Coat scallops in the oil, adding salt and pepper to taste. Sear scallops on skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes until opaque and glossy. Transfer to a separate plate.
Over medium heat (in the same skillet), add a few squeezes of fresh lime juice and begin to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of water and tarragon to the skillet, then bacon, followed by the scallops. Give the skillet a nice little swirl to blend juices. Cook 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow flavors to combine.
Serve the scallops on plates with bacon and a sprig of leftover fresh tarragon.
