BALSAMIC-GLAZED SEA SCALLOPS
Pan-seared scallops may seem intimidating to some, but it's really a simple dish to prepare. Sea scallops are amazingly tender, succulent, and mildly flavored, but when you style them up with a flavorful balsamic glaze, they can be a showstopper. They're sophisticated enough for dinner guests, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Steps:
- Pat scallops thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear. Combine seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper and use to lightly season both sides of the scallops.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook until golden brown and a crust starts to form, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the scallops and be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook until glaze is slightly thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Move scallops to a serving plate, drizzle glaze on top, and garnish with chopped tarragon.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SCALLOPS
I love scallops! Our local seafood restaurants make amazing scallop dishes. This recipe can hold up to all of them. Buy a frozen bag of scallops from Trader Joe's (if you are so blessed to live by one) and make a night of it. I serve this dish with Jasmine rice. From the Coastal Living Cookbook.
