Description:

Quick, easy, and bursting with flavor, these sautéed scallops with mustard are a delightful option whether you’re looking for a speedy appetizer for a group, a starter course for a dinner party, or a cozy meal for two. Paired perfectly with a spicy gewürztraminer wine, this dish promises an excellent culinary experience.

Ingredients:

• 12 scallops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 tablespoons mustard
• 6 teaspoons curry powder
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat Oil: Begin by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Sear Scallops: Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the scallops to the skillet. Sear them for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan, as this can prevent proper browning. Remove the scallops from the skillet once they are cooked and set them aside, keeping them warm.

3. Saute Spinach: In the same skillet, add the spinach and sauté for about 1 minute, until it begins to wilt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Prepare Sauce: Next, pour in the heavy cream, mustard, and curry powder, stirring well to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for approximately 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to slightly thicken.

5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked scallops to the skillet, gently tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly. Allow the scallops to warm through for a minute or two.

6. Serve: To serve, divide the scallops and sauce evenly among soup bowls, ensuring each portion is generously coated with the flavorful mustard and curry sauce.
