Seared Scallops with White Wine and Bacon

Ingredients

• 6 slice bacon, shredded
• 500 g scallops
• salt
• freshly ground pepper
• 2 tbsp shallot (minced, shallots)
• 1 cup white wine
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• Pencil leaks
• Flying fish raw for garnish

Heat a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, and add shredded bacon. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Drain excess fat, leaving a thin coat on the bottom of a pan. Increase heat to medium, add scallops to pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until golden brown and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Don’t overcook.

Transfer scallops to the serving dish, I like to use the scallop shells for nicer presentation.

Add shallots to pan. When shallots are translucent, add white wine; scrape browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter, and pour over scallops; top with reserved bacon.
Serve over grilled pencil leaks and garnish with some flying fish roe.

Enjoy!
