  • 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Old Bay Seafood Seasoning
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice Or Your Favorite Kind Of Rice
  • Fresh Chopped Parsley, Garnish

Method

  • Prepare a grill, griddle pan or heavy bottom pan over medium high heat.
  • Add canola oil and butter.
  • Place scallops on a wide bowl or platter and use paper towels to gently pat dry.
  • Season both sides with Old Bay seasoning (season sparingly, as a little goes a long way).
  • In a saucepan, add water and jasmine rice and cook according to package instructions.
  • When rice is almost done, lower temperature and cover with a lid.
  • Now its time to sear the scallops.
  • Once grill or pan is hot, add seasoned sea scallops and cook 2 minutes each side, keeping the temperature up to nicely sear the scallops.
  • To serve, plate some rice and add several seared scallops on top.
  • Garnish with parsley and squeeze some lemon juice over seared scallops if desired.
  • Enjoy!
