Good Sunday evening! I am so happy to join Yvonne of Stone Gable for her new party, On The Menu Monday! It is a wonderfuk party FULL of great recipes!!! Head on over there for some great inspiration!!! Tonight we had a DELICIOUS dinner. After working in the yard in this HEAT and HUMIDITY it was wonderful to enjoy a good dinner with a good glass of wine. (After we both took showers:):):) I set the table very casually, we were both TIRED from working, plus I had hit my head and it BLED, alot! I will share the recipe at the end of this post. If you like scallops, you will love this!
The candle is lit! And the wine is chilled.
Ingredients
- 3 slices lean bacon
- 1 lb sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
- 10 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
1. In a large skillet cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and drain well on paper towels. Remove all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet.
2. Rinse scallops and pat dry. Combine flour and cajun seasoning; add scallops and toss to coat.
3. Cook scallops in hot drippings in skillet about 6 minutes or until browned, turning once.
4. Remove scallops from skillet. Deglaze skillet with white wine.
5. Add spinach to liquid in skillet. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Add vinegar and toss to coat evenly.
6. Return scallops to skillet and heat through. Crumble bacon and sprinkle over scallops.
Variation:
Forget the flour, just season the scallops with salt, and Cajun seasoning. Sear the scallops in a mixture of Olive oil and butter. When done (about 2-3 minutes per side), deglaze the pan with dry white wine (about ¼ cup)
and add the spinach. Follow instructions above from here. I hope you will enjoy this recipe! Thanks for stopping by!!!! XO, Pinky
