SEARED SCALLOPS WITH GRAPEFRUIT BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook the shallots in 8 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat, stirring consistently until the shallots are golden - about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and grapefruit juice and cook over moderate heat until liquid is syrupy and reduced - about 5 minutes. Add cream, salt, pepper and boil for 1 minute (being careful you don't scald the cream). Reduce heat to low and add a few tablespoons of butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter pieces, a few at a time, whisking constantly and adding new pieces before the previous ones have completely liquefied. Lift the pan off the heat occasionally to cool down the mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Pull off and discard any muscle tabs still attached to the scallops. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.
• In a large, heavy-duty nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops (in batches if necessary to keep them from crowding), cook until they are golden brown on both sides and almost firm to the touch, 2 to 4 minutes per side. If you have an oil splatter screen, it would be a good idea to use it while cooking the scallops - but it's not nessicary.
• Add the shallot sauce to the scallops, and cook briefly, shaking the pan, until the sauce is reheated. Serve immediately and sprinkle with chives if using.

• Flip the scallops, add the butter and soy sauce to the pan and use a spoon to repeatedly drizzle the sauce over the tops of the scallops to finish cooking, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Set the scallops on an oven-safe plate and pour the butter mixture on top. Place the plate in the oven to keep the scallops warm while you finish the rest of the dish.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes, adding a teaspoon or so more of grapeseed oil if needed. Return the heat to medium-high and add the spinach, in batches, if needed, and season with salt. Toss until the spinach wilts, adding a few teaspoons of water to help it along, if needed, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat.
