Garnish with Thai basil, cilantro and cucumber slices seasoned with salt.

• Wrap the star anise, cinnamon stick and cloves in a cheesecloth and secure with a tie. Drop that in the saucepan also.
• Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer 20 minutes until thickened.
• Meanwhile pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In batches add the butter to a skillet and sear the scallops one to 2 minutes per side. Serve over the blueberry compote and top with the remaining zest
