Seared Scallops with Asparagus Sauce Recipe

Ingredients (7)

• 6 sea scallops*
• Salt
• 1 pound asparagus
• 1/2 cup warm chicken broth (if cooking gluten-free use gluten-free stock)
• 2-3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
• *Sea scallops are the big scallops, about 1 1/2-inches wide, as opposed to bay scallops which are small, about 1/2-inch wide. Look for “dry pack” scallops, as they are not treated with chemicals to keep them fresh; the chemicals are not overly harmful, but they change the texture of the scallop and make them harder to sear properly.:
