Scallops with Red Grapes and Sliced Almonds

Like my last post said, Grapes are in season. And I don't know about you, but I have exhausted the standard chicken grape salad. or fruit plate with grapes. So tonight, I mustered something different. With a quick stop at Whole Foods, I ended up with this recipe.

                              Scallops with Red Grapes and Sliced Almonds



Ingredients:

2- Tbsp Ghee ( Indian clarified butter)
6- Wild Caught Fresh Scallops
1- 1/2 shallot ( Minced)
1- 1/4 cup Red Grapes ( Halved)
1- Tbsp Sliced and Toasted Almonds
1- Tbsp Parsley ( Chopped)
1- 1/4 Lemon


Steps:

1. Toast almonds in pan until golden brown. Set aside.
2. melt Ghee, or butter for 2 minutes until just about browning.
3. Salt scallops, then place in pan. 3 minutes on each side.
4. Place scallops on plate.
5. Add shallots and grapes and cook for 2 minutes
6. Stir in lemon juice, Almonds, and Parsley.
7. Spoon sauce over scallops and enjoy!


Note: You may use regular butter or coconut oil in place of Ghee. Although I advise you to get familiar with Ghee, its delicious! You can get it at Whole foods!
