10 large fresh scallops
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons butter
Steak seasoning
4 tablespoons water
Instructions
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons butter
Steak seasoning
4 tablespoons water
Rinse scallops in cold water and place in a small bowl with lime juice. Turn several times to coat well. Allow to marinate 10 minutes. Rinse scallops in cold water and drain.
In a large heavy skillet, melt butter. When the pan is coated with butter, add scallops, and sprinkle very lightly with steak seasoning. Sear on medium-high heat until half cooked. The scallops will become slightly cracked on the edges, will be more firm, and will begin to change color. Turn with tongs, and cook until almost done. Add 2 tablespoons of the water, and turn the heat up to high. Shake the pan occasionally until the liquid is reduced and scallops are glazed. Turn again and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the water. Serve immediately with cocktail forks or toothpicks.
