Seared Scallops w/ Spinach & Butternut Squash Puree
Sunday night, I attempted to make butternut squash SOUP that the Vitamix turned into more of a PUREE. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon and cayenne pepper that really "kicked it up a notch".
Tonight, I tried to get fancy with my puree.
Sauteed Spinach, Butternut Squash Puree, and Seared Sea Scallops.
This was an absolutely delicious dinner.
I feel like I finally perfected the "sear" on the scallops. The key for me was to pat the scallops very dry and once I added the seasoned scallops to the pan, I turned the heat up to medium-high and didnt touch them for a few minutes. Flip once and cook for another couple minutes at the medium-high heat.
Enjoy the rest of your night.

Looks awesome. I LOVE scallops. They are my second favorite seafood after Salmon ;)
you always make such classy looking dinners!
Mmmm scallops. Delish.
That looks yummy!!!!
Looks fabulous! Scallops are one of my favorite dishes but I've been too nervous to prepare them at home. This definitely makes me want to give it a shot!
I love scallops, but I've been too scared to eat them since I had a food-poisoning run in with them :(
sideofsneakers/I totally understand. I had the same thing happen with salmon. I am finally after years and years able to try it again.
Those scallops look gorgeous! I never make them at home, but always order them when I go out to eat if they are on the menu.
angela/ ME TOO! if they are anywhere on the menu - you can be sure that I am ordering them.
I love this! We made our own seared scallops last weekend. Why haven't we made these more often!
glad you are still using the Vitamix!
