Seared Scallops with Mangos


It's been a while since I've gotten to post, but now that the in-laws are gone and baby's 1st birthday mayhem is behind us I can relax with a glass of wine and a plate of seared scallops.

The party was wonderful despite a last second location change (blast you high winds!) and I'm so excited to post photos of all the cutie-patooties that were there. Before I do, I wanted to share this recipe I hodged-podged together the other night for the hubs and I. 

I say hodged-podged because I failed to pick up like 3 of the ingredients, but it still worked out beautifully. I even got a "this is so good, I want to punch you".  One of the highest compliments a meal can receive in our house.

Ingredients

  • 24 sea scallops, rinsed and drained
  • Cooking spray
  • Green onions
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup mango fruit beverage (I used Snapple)
  • 1 tablespoon mint, chopped

Directions

1. Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle scallops evenly with pepper and salt. Add scallops to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove scallops from pan; keep warm.



2. Using the same pan as the scallops, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in mangos and fruit juice, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; cook 3 minutes. Stir in mint.






3. Discard any accumulated juices from scallops; top evenly with Mangos and  green onions. Serve right away with a side of jasmine rice and enjoy!
