Blue Heaven Scallops image

I found this recipe online, the Blue Heaven is a fantastic Key West restaurant that I used to frequent, eat outside with roosters running around you, a great tire swing in the yard...it's a kind of eclectic (young hippy-like) restaurant with award winning gourmet chefs.

Time 8m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb scallops
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1/4 lb mushroom, sliced
1 teaspoon capers
1/4 cup white wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth
butter, slices

Steps:

  • This is an edited version of the original, but oh so yum! I used some Swanson's fat free broth vs. wine, mainly because it's what I had, and I added the capers because I like them!
  • The trick is to use a VERY HOT pan to sear the scallops. I used the large sea scallops and I sprayed the pan with cooking spray first. Then you quickly add the garlic. When done quickly, it browns the scallops slightly and thus you get a brownish sauce to go along.
  • Add the tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, capers which will cool down the pan so the scallops and garlic stop cooking.
  • Cook for just a minute, add the wine or broth, stir it up to get the scrapings into the sauce (like clarifying?) and simmer for a minute or two.
  • Remove from heat and add the butter slice, swirl it to finish the sauce.
  • This is some good stuff fit for a very special occasion. I served with shrimp scampi, asparagus with hollandaise, and garlic bread which was a great way to enjoy all those flavors as dipping sauces.
