Balsamic-Glazed Scallops

"I love scallops! Our local seafood restaurants make amazing scallop dishes. This recipe can hold up to all of them. Buy a frozen bag of scallops from Trader Joe's (if you are so blessed to live by one) and make a night of it. I serve this dish with Jasmine rice. From the Coastal Living Cookbook."

  1. Fabulous recipe! Really makes the scallops pop....glad I picked this one out to serve my sweety for Valentines Day.
     
  2. This is absolutely my favorite scallop recipe of all time!! Easy, delicious and always gets rave reviews! So fast to make it can be done during the week and so delicious it gets a prime spot during dinner parties. Thanks carolinajen4!
     
  3. Good recipe. I stopped at Step 2, sauteeing scallops in balsamic flavored oil (basically dipping oil) to give it a slight balsamic flavor. I thought Step 3 would overcook. They came out good and we ate them rather quickly. Thanks!
     
  4. Ah.....Nova Scotia Bay Scallops....MMMM Delicious, I didn't have honey so used maple syrup instead. Will try it with honey next time. MMMM.......very good!
     
  5. I was hungry, so I ate a couple of the scallops after searing & before adding all the other ingredients. They were delicious! After I added the balsamic, honey, & spices, they weren't nearly as yummy. Also, returning them to the pan overcooked them a bit. I will use the first 2 steps again to make tasty seared scallops!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm married to the love of my life and my high school sweetheart. (Corny, but true..)We have 4 children and everyday is an adventure, for sure. My love for cooking came from my childhood. My grandma made the best huge southern meals without any recipes at all, most of her ingredients coming from her garden. I loved watching her cook. Organic foods are a must and I try to add them to whatever I make for my family. I enjoy going to our local farmers market and making something out of what I've found that day. I love to travel with my family, especially to the ocean. We hope to live by the coast someday....
