MAPLE GINGER SCALLOPS
Ready In: 20 mins
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 12 large scallops, muscle removed and patted dry
- 1⁄2 teaspoon hot paprika (or as needed)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1⁄2 tablespoon ginger, minced

- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season one side with hot paprika; set aside.
