Best Scallops Wwhite Beans Bacon Recipes
SEARED SCALLOPS WITH WHITE BEANS AND BACON
Clipped from The Best Life magazine, this high protein dish is a quick meal that packs in a lot of flavor without a lot of calories, carbs or fat, and it's also low sodium. Resist the urge to move the scallops around as they sear. They'll develop a better crust if they stay in place. Also, you can swap in a bunch of leaf spinach for the baby spinach; just wash it well and tear off the tough stems before using.

- Place scallops on a paper towel-lined plate and pat very dry with additional paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper total.

- Purée lemon juice, 1/8 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, the remaining 1 1/2 cups peas, and 1/2 cup reserved pea cooking liquid in a blender. Add oil and pureé until smooth. Add 2 Tbsp. mint leaves and pureé until just combined but pieces of mint are still visible. Divide pea purée among 4 plates.
- Heat skillet with reserved fat over high until just barely smoking. Working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, sear scallops until a golden brown crust has formed and scallop releases from skillet, about 3 minutes per side.
