SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SPICY CARROT COULIS
A coulis, pronounced koo-LEE, is a thin, pourable sauce, often made from tomatoes for savory dishes, or from berries for desserts. This brilliant orange sauce gets a splash of vinegar for a hit of acidity and a pinch of cayenne for heat, a perfect foil for the scallops' sweetness. For the best flavor, use young bunch carrots, not large "horse carrots." This is a very easy dish if the sauce is prepared in advance. (Make the sauce up to a day ahead. If made in advance, reheat to serve.) Then it's just a matter of searing the scallops and assembling the plates.

Steps:
- Make the coulis: Put carrots, garlic, onion, vinegar, cayenne, salt, honey and broth in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until carrots are very soft, about 15 minutes. Purée all ingredients thoroughly in a blender and strain if necessary - it should be very smooth. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Coulis should not be too thick, but rather similar to a thin milkshake. Keep warm if not made ahead.
- Prepare the scallops: Set 2 wide cast-iron skillets or a large griddle over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, film with olive oil. As oil heats and just before cooking, season scallops with salt and pepper on both sides. When oil is wavy, place scallops in pan without crowding. Leave scallops undisturbed to brown well and crisp on one side, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until cooked through, but juicy. Place scallops browned side up on paper towels to blot bottoms.
- To serve, ladle about 1/4 cup warm coulis onto individual warmed dinner plates. Set scallops on top, browned side up. Sprinkle with cilantro, chives and sliced chiles. Serve with lime wedges.
CURRY-DUSTED SCALLOPS WITH PEA PURéE
Steps:
- Cook peas on stovetop with water (1/4 cup) according to package directions (do not drain). Pulse in a food processor with cooking water, butter, scallions, lime juice (to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a coarse purée. Season with salt.
- Stir together curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper on a plate. Pat scallops dry and coat all over with curry mixture.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then sauté scallops in 2 batches, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer with tongs to a clean plate. Serve scallops over pea purée.
CURRIED SCALLOPS
This is my favourite recipe for curried scallops. It is creamy and rich, with a nice tangy flavour to the sauce. This is the mixture I use for my curried scallop pies, or you can just serve it over rice.

SEARED CURRY SCALLOPS - SHE KEEPS A LOVELY HOME

- In a small bowl, add ½ tsp. curry powder, ¼ tsp. garlic powder, ⅛ tsp. onion powder and ⅛ tsp. cardamom. Add 1 tsp. grape seed oil and stir. Set beside the oven.
- Pat 5 sea scallops dry and set them in a bowl beside the spiced oil. Slice a lime in half and set one of the halves beside the scallops and oil. You want to have everything easily accessible because the cooking process will be FAST.
- Place a heavy sauté pan on your hottest burner and turn the heat too HIGH. Allow it to heat for at least 30 seconds before adding 1 tsp. grape seed oil (not the spice mixture) and quickly add the scallops. Using tongs, make sure they’ve all touched the oil and spread them out in the pan. NOTE: You may want to use a spatter screen for a minute because the oil will likely sizzle.
- Allow them to sear on one side for 1½ minutes without touching them. Flip them over and allow them to sear for 1½ minutes. Quickly add the spice-oil mixture, and flip them, making sure they’re smeared in the oil. Allow them to cook for just 30 seconds more.
