Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) packet Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning Mix
4 slices bacon
1 lb sea scallops, patted dry
1 tablespoon butter
12 ounces Baby Spinach, fresh
1 garlic clove, sliced thin
1/2 shallot, sliced thin
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • 1) In a cool skillet, start cooking your bacon over medium/low heat until crispy. (The lower the heat, the more bacon fat you'll render out, which is good.).
  • 2) In a small plastic sealable bag, combine 1/2 the packet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning Mix, parmesan cheese, and scallops. Gentle mix/coat the scallops in the mixture.
  • 3) Once the bacon is crispy, remove from skillet, and turn heat up to medium. Keep ALL the fat in there. Sear the scallops on one side, roughly 2-3 minutes. Do not move them until they have cooked about halfway through. Then flip to the other side and sear another 1.5-2 minutes. Then remove from the pan.
  • 4) Add the garlic, shallots, butter, and other half of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning Mix to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, and then add you spinach and allow it to steam and wilt, stirring after about 1-2 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and crumble up the bacon into the spinach.
  • 5) Create a small bed of spinach on your plate and place your scallops on top of it. Enjoy!

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The scallops were cooked well, but the ranch crust was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would prefer a different recipe for scallops in the future.

This dish was a bit too complicated for my taste. There were too many steps involved and it took me longer to make than I expected. The scallops were cooked well, but I think there are easier ways to prepare them.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The scallops were cooked well, but the ranch crust lacked flavor. I think adding some additional herbs or spices would help to improve the flavor of this dish.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I can see why others might enjoy it. The scallops were cooked well and the ranch crust was flavorful, but the spinach was a bit overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still juicy, and the crust was golden brown and crispy. The spinach was a great addition and added a lot of flavor.
