SCALLOPS AND CHEDDAR GRITS WITH CHORIZO
The first time I had the Southern classic shrimp and grits was on set during the filming of Top Chef in Miami, brilliantly prepared by Dallas-based chef Tre Wilcox in a taco truck. I've been hooked ever since. Here, the same idea, but with sea scallops--also a sweet shellfish, and one that needs no peeling or deveining. Scallops are particularly friendly with salty, spicy pork, whether it's fancy Italian ham, good old bacon, or, in this case, the spicy Spanish sausage that rounds out this dish.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring 3 1/2 cups water to a boil, and add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly stir the grits into the water, pouring the grits in a fine stream. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar, cover, and keep warm in the oven.
- Ten minutes into cooking the grits, pat dry the scallops, season them with salt and pepper on both sides, and heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan, then the chorizo, and cook until the sausage renders some fat, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallops, shake the pan to move them around a little, and sear for 2 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until browned, 2 minutes. Remove the scallops and chorizo to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Reduce the heat under the pan to medium, and add the scallions, garlic, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes, and remove from the heat.
- On each of 4 plates, make a bed of grits, then place the scallops on top, and drizzle pan sauce and chorizo on and around the scallops and grits. Serve quickly.
SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CHEDDAR-ONION GRITS
My holiday guests love shrimp and grits, but I wanted to shake things up one year. These pan scallops are crisp and tender and contrast well with the creamy cheddar grits. -Janice Elder, Charlotte, North Carolina

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH FRIED ONIONS
Steps:
- Soak capers in water to cover for 10 minutes. Rinse under cold running water and pat dry. Slice onion in rings one-fourth-inch thick. Separate rings.
- Heat enough peanut or vegetable oil to come one-fourth of the way up the side of a deep fryer. Lightly dredge the onions in the flour and place in a frying basket. Deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Dredge the capers with the flour, deep fry and remove with a slotted spoon when golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet until hot. Season scallops with salt and pepper and saute them in two teaspoons olive oil in one layer over high heat, turning once, until seared and opaque, about two minutes each side.
- To assemble the salad, arrange the tomatoes on four plates. Place the scallops on top. Combine the quarter-cup olive oil, garlic and vinegar and sprinkle lightly over the scallops. Season with pepper and garnish with the onion rings, capers and basil leaves.

SEARED SCALLOPS & GRITS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- 1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Pour off 5 tablespoons of the butter; set aside and keep warm. Add the panko and garlic to the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet and cook until the panko is crisp and golden, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the thyme and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Remove from the heat. 2. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F). 3. In a saucepan combine 3-½ cups milk, the garlic, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the mixture thickens and the grits are very tender, 6 to 9 minutes, whisking often and adding water ¼ cup at a time if the mixture seems too thick. Stir in the cheese and season with pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm. 4. Pat the scallops dry. Remove and discard the small, tough side muscle that might be left on each one. In a bowl combine the scallops, Cajun seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Turn the scallops in the seasonings and then add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and toss to coat. 5. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the scallops over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until they are lightly browned and just opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once or twice. During the last minute of grilling time, grill the scallions over direct heat, turning once. Transfer the scallops to a clean bowl and add 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste, and the remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter; toss to coat. Roughly chop the scallions. 6. If the grits have solidified, loosen with a few tablespoons of water or milk and then warm through. Divide the grits among four plates. Top the grits with the scallions, scallops, and bread crumbs. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with more hot pepper sauce, if desired.

- Make a cream sauce by dashing two TBSP butter into a large nonstick saute' pan on medium heat. When butter melts, add garlic and saute' until fragrant. Add remaining cream (1 cup)and reduce mixture by half. Season with salt and pepper, and reserve sauce in a seperate container.
- Wipe out the saute' pan, and turn the heat all the way up. Drizzle in a little Olive Oil. Season the Scallops with salt and pepper. Sear Scallops about 2 minutes a side ( maybe a few seconds more). DO NOT OVERCOOK. At the end of the second minute, turn fire down a bit, add cream sauce to scallops and reheat. Ladle scallops and sauce evenly on top of the grits.

Steps:
- Season scallops with salt, pepper and chili flakes.
- In a hot pan (I prefer cast iron) add oil. When the oil starts to smoke add scallops and watch closely to make sure its not too hot.
- Sear the scallops until golden brown on both sides, but only flip once.
- Remove and set aside on a plate.
- Next add the chopped garlic and cook for just a minute or two, then add the wine.
- The garlic and wine should start to simmer, continue this until its reduced.
- Then add the pineapple and stir around to coat.
- Pour it all over the scallops and garnish. Serve immediately.
- For the wine I prefer to use Alice White Lexia, its smooth and has more of a fruity flavor.
