Steps:
- Whisk chopped shallots, Sherry wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Cover dressing and let stand at room temperature. Rewhisk before using.)
- Toss mixed baby greens in large bowl with enough dressing to coat. Divide salad among 6 plates. Heat 2 tablespoons of remaining olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Add scallops to skillet in single layer. Cook until scallops are just opaque in center and lightly browned and all juices have evaporated, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to plate.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over high heat. Add sausage and sauté until crisp, about 3 minutes. Return scallops to skillet and stir just until heated through, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle scallop and andouille sausage mixture around salads, dividing equally. Drizzle scallop and andouille sausage mixture with some of remaining dressing. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
- Smoked pork-and-beef sausages, sold at specialty foods stores and supermarkets. Kielbasa can be substituted.
SEARED GREENS
Steps:
- Trim and discard the stems of the greens and wash and dry the leaves. Stack the leaves, roll into cylinders and cut across the rolls into 1-inch strips. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbly. Saute one quarter of the greens with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of the pepper until the greens are limp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If the greens begin to brown before they wilt, sprinkle in a few drops of water for steam. Transfer to a covered platter and repeat the procedure with the remaining 3 batches of greens. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump, firm, and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have a fishy odor.
- Sear the scallops properly. Scallops should be seared over high heat for a short period of time, just until they are golden brown and cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use fresh, bitter greens. Bitter greens, such as dandelion greens, escarole, and radicchio, add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the scallops. Be sure to wash them thoroughly before using.
- Make the fried shallots ahead of time. Fried shallots can be made several days in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They are a great way to add a crunchy, flavorful topping to any dish.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
Seared scallops with bitter greens, fried shallots, and andouille is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the bitter greens, fried shallots, and andouille add a nice contrast of flavors and textures. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
