A delicious easy recipe, i prepared this as an appetizer. I used 6 large sea scallops and cut them into quarters. Great tasting sauce!!

Melt 1 tblsp.

Butter in large skillet over medium-high heat , add olive oil.

Season scallops with paprika and 1 / 8 teaspoon salt.

Add scallops to pan and cook quickly approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned.

Do not overcook scallops !.

Remove from pan and set aside , keep warm.

Add orange juice , zest and chile to pan , scraping to loosen browned bits.

Bring to a boil , cook about 2 minutes.

Add remaining butter and salt , stirring with a whisk until sauce is smooth.

Serve scallops with sauce , sprinkle with onions.

Recommend serving with rice and steamed broccoli florets.
