Seared Scallops With Pineapple

Ingredients

• 1 lb sea scallops
• 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Season scallops with salt, pepper and chili flakes.

2. 2

   In a hot pan (I prefer cast iron) add oil. When the oil starts to smoke add scallops and watch closely to make sure its not too hot.

3. 3

   Sear the scallops until golden brown on both sides, but only flip once.

4. 4

   Remove and set aside on a plate.

5. 5

   Next add the chopped garlic and cook for just a minute or two, then add the wine.

6. 6

   The garlic and wine should start to simmer, continue this until its reduced.

7. 7

   Then add the pineapple and stir around to coat.

8. 8

   Pour it all over the scallops and garnish. Serve immediately.

9. 9

   For the wine I prefer to use Alice White Lexia, its smooth and has more of a fruity flavor.
