Seared Scallops on a Bed of Red Onion and Corn

We work all week long and when we have time, it is raining, even pouring. It is so upsetting. I hate rain. I can’t go outside and go for my jog and it puts a damper on my mood.

So what to do when it is raining??? In my house, we watched TV and do a lot of nothing;-) Me, I cook. So today I cooked a yummy onion soup for our lunch, and I fixed some Sable Breton.

This evening I wanted to add a bit of sunshine to my plate so I prepared Seared Scallops on a bed of corn and red onion.

It was quick, easy to do, yummy to my stomach and it really brightened my morose day;-)

Ingredients for 2:

6 to 8 fresh scallops
3 ears of corn
1/2 red onion sliced and diced
4 scallions
1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes
1 tsp of Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple
1 tsbp of butter
Salt and Pepper

Place the corn inside the large round mold and cover the mold with the octogonal silpat.
Microwave for 4 minutes.
With a sharp knife, cut the corn off the ear, and set aside.
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a frying pan, and when the butter is sizzling, add the diced onion and saute it until it turns golden.
Then add the corn and saute it as well.
Add the chopped scallions and saute it.
Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and stir.
Empty the content of the pan into a plate and cover it so that it will not cool down.
Rinse the scallops over running water. With a paper towel, pat them dry.
Spread the Smokehouse Maple seasoning over a plate or in a bowl and dip each scallops into the seasoning to coat them with that seasoning. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, melt 1/2 tsp of butter. When the butter is sizzling, sear the scallops for 1-2 minutes.
Turn them and sear them the other side.
Spoon some of the corn on each plate and place the seared scallops on top. Serve and Enjoy!!!
