Scallops in orange butter sauce
I made this for dinner Friday night. Scallops are expensive, but a
nice treat once in a while. I like the dry pack sea scallops best.
They do not shrink, so even at $16 a pound you pretty much get what
you pay for.
Heat a pan and add butter to sear the scallops. I use half ghee and
half butter so the heat will not burn it.
Add the scallops and sear on one side. Turn once to sear the other
side.
Once cooked, remove them to a warm serving platter or your warmed
dishes.
Add a little more butter if needed. Add a heaping tablespoon of
frozen orange juice concentrate. Add a splash of orange liqueur if you
want also. Mix in and pour over the scallops.
