Decandence for Dinner......Scallops

Scallops, decadence for dinner!!

This is something even the novice cook can accomplish.  You can even make this beautiful dish after work and feel that wonderful expensive taste and beauty come to life right before your eyes. The aroma from the searing of these fresh wonderful sea scallops.  The scallops almost melt in your mouth with the sweet shallots that are in the mix and give a little more flavor.

I buy my seafood from a store that sells fresh seafood.  You can also buy fresh frozen as well.



1-2 pounds Scallops (4-6 each)
4-8 Tbsp Butter
1-2 Shallots sliced
5 cloves of garlic chopped
1/2 cup white cooking wine
1/2 lemon juiced  you can use also zest a 1/4 tsp if you desire
Dill sprigs chopped
Green Onions sliced


Pat dry the scallops using paper towels.

In a large cast iron skillet, medium high heat with a 1 Tbsp butter to start. Once melted add the shrimp cook for 2 minutes or when the top of the shrimp turn a little pink.












 Add shallots and  garlic lower heat to medium. Cook until shallots are a little limp then add white cooking wine, let it reduce down for about 5-7 minutes

 add rest of butter and lemon juice, until melted. Remove and serve with dill sprinkled over the shrimp.

This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
