Outstanding!!!!! Love Love Loved this dish! This did not take any time at all to make and is a wonderful gourmet recipe!!! I actually did this in reverse because I didn't want my scallops to sit and wait for the shallots to cook and get cold. I sliced my shallots into fairly thin slices then I caramelized them and reduced their sauce first. That way, I was able to cover them and keep them hot while I seared my scallops. After I salted and peppered my dry scallops, I also dusted them with a little flour because I saw Emeril do that one time for a good sear. It worked out great! The orange was intense with the shallots and it was a great compliment to the scallops! I really love this recipe and will make again and again!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!
