topica


List of Ingredients

3tbs fresh lemon juice
1TBS light brown sugar
2tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1/2tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1lb scallops (sea scallops work best)




Recipe

Preheat broiler. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, chili powder, lemon zest, cumin, salt, and cayenne in a small sauce pan. Set pan over medium-low heat and simmer until mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer mixture to a shallow dish; add scallops and turn to coat.

Transfer scallops to prepared baking sheet and broil until cooked through or opaque; about 3-5 minutes per side.


Note: The lemon flavor is quite strong. Perhaps use less or no zest?
