PAN SEARED SCALLOPS WITH MAITAKE MUSHROOMS AND HERBS DIRECTIONS:
Scallops: Heat a sauté pan to medium-high heat. Add oil, then scallops. Sear on one side for about 30-45 seconds or until the golden edge appears in the bottom. Turn over and finish with butter. Remove from pan and place on rack (this keeps your crust intact)
Mushrooms: Heat a sauté pan to medium-high heat. Add oil, then mushrooms. Sear on one side for about 30-45 seconds or until the golden edge appears in the bottom. Turn over and finish with butter. Remove from the pan.
Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
Plate: place mushrooms in the center of the plate. Top with scallops and drizzle sauce over. Enjoy!
