Sauteed Scallops
Makes 4 Servings
1/4 pound (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
1 and 1/2 pounds scallops (3 and 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic ®
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
2 cups sliced mushrooms
Melt half the butter in a large skillet (preferably not a nonstick type) over high heat. Add the Seafood Magic and cook about 10 seconds, stirring once or twice. Add the scallops, green onions, and parsely, stirring well. Cook about 1 minute, stirring once or twice. Add the remaining butter
and the mushrooms. Cook about 3 minutes, constantly shaking the pan fairly vigorously in a back and forth motion. (After 2 minutes, stir, so mushrooms get coated.) Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice, tossed with pasta or in a bowl with lots of warm French bread on the side.
