1 1/2 teaspoons garlic
2 tablespoons chicken stock
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

  • Heat 2 T olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat, place scallops in hot pan but do not crowd pan. (do in two batches if necesssary) Sear and allow to caramelize for about 2 minutes. Flip scallops and sear on the other side.
