Sea Scallops & Sweet Potato Curry
I just love scallops, who knew they were so easy to cook. The other night I was working on this meal for my meal plan and I couldn’t believe how amazing these sea scallops were and how so very simple it is to make this dish.
So today I couldn’t resist giving you a sneak peek into one of our meal plan recipes. If you haven’t had a chance to check out our meal plan service, head on over and check it out. We take out all the stress and make getting back to the table simple, healthy and delicious.
So the next time you are at the market, pick up some delicious sea scallops and get ready for one of the best dinners you have ever had! Oh and only because I know someone is going to ask, the side dish is sweet potato curry and that recipe is in our meal plan along with many other amazing recipes! 🙂
- 1 pound large sea scallops
- 1-2 tbsp butter
- salt, pepper to taste
- Place sea scallops between 2 paper towels and make sure the water is off of the scallops and they are dry.
- Season sea scallops with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a skillet over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the butter to the hot skillet and allow to melt.

These aren’t very caramelized. The butter has browned, but that’s it.
They are lightly caramelized you are right, you certainly can brown them more, this is just my preference.
It helps to pat the scallops dry before putting in the pan. They will brown better.
@RobinL Thanks Robin, you are right. I had mine between paper towels before putting them in the skillet. I will make the change.
