Seared Scallops with Coconut Curry Sauce

Slightly adapted from Robin Seidel

Ingredients:
9 oz. dry scallops (1 Lean)
1/8 tsp Lemon pepper (1/4 Condiment)
1/8 tsp Curry Powder (1/4 Condiment)
1/8 tsp Coriander (1/4 Condiment)
2 teaspoon olive oil (2 Healthy Fats)
1 tbsp Starport's coconut curry sauce (2 Condiments)
1 tbsp low sodium chicken broth or water
Scallions, thinly sliced

Directions:
Rinse, then pat the scallops dry. Combine lemon pepper, curry powder, coriander and salt. Sprinkle both sides of scallops with seasoning blend. Place olive oil in a non-stick skillet, heat over medium-high heat until sizzling then add the scallops. Sear until nicely browned on one side, flip and cook on the other side. Touch them to gauge their level of doneness; they need to have a little give but not too much, take care not to overcook to where they’re hard to the touch. Remove to a plate, cover.
Combine coconut curry sauce and chicken broth in a very small bowl. Spoon over top of scallops. Sprinkle sliced scallions over the top. Serve over grated and cooked cauliflower.
