And if it’s a Seared Sea Scallop in Saffron Sauce {wow try to say that three times fast} Just swoon. Yes, I would definitely consider this a special occasion dish. Why, well Sea Scallops and Saffron ain’t cheap ; ) but they’re worth it. Good news though, a pinch of those sexy strands goes a long way.
The trick to searing the scallops is to be patient. I know, I know, this coming from the queen of impatient herself, but when it comes to this I have to be ; ) As soon as you see those gorgeous sear marks on the bottom then and only then is it time to FLIP your scallops every so carefully. You don’t want to tear those succulent pillows of perfection now do you ; ) I find a pair of tongs works beautifully here.
When they’ve achieved they’re sear tan LOL just keep them warm while you work on the sauce. Now I’m quite sure which one is the star of this dish because to me, they’re both rawkstars. This sauce is something to write home about. You see that spoon in the picture.
Yes, I totally ate the sauce of it and then went back for more ; ) Hey, just you wait, you will too! You might even want to double the sauce recipe and make a batch of pasta to go with {I like linguine here} for an extra special something something. Your hips won’t thank me but your taste buds will! Baci!
