Ingredients
-
12 oz extra large scallops
1-1/2 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp coarsely ground pepper
1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbs olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
Directions
Dry scallops. Mix paprika, ground pepper, cumin and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Dredge each scallop in spice mixture and set aside. Heat olive oil in skillet until hot. Add scallops and saute, about 3 minutes on each side, flipping once, or until cooked through. Sprinkle with the salt after cooking if desired.
We find that scallops are not very filling; so I have suggested a 6 oz serving. These are wonderful served over couscous with some fresh green beans. A 2 oz serving makes a quick an elegant appetizer! Enjoy!

This was very delicious! I had to substitute cajun seasoning for the cayenne pepper. Very Spicy!!! - 6/16/09
