Requested Recipe -- Blue Heaven Scallops

FoodReference.com

I wanted to start by saying that the Blue Heaven restaurant is probably one of the best meals I have had in my life. That being said, I wonder if it would be possible to get the recipe for the Sauteed Sea Scallops appetizer (w\ garlic, tomato, mushroom, onion, etc) Thanks again. Laine

Ingredients

Scallops
minced garlic
diced tomatoes
chopped onions
sliced mushrooms
white wine
butter slices

The trick to making this is to use a VERY hot pan to sear the scallops - then quickly add the minced garlic - it is the quick cooking of the scallops and garlic that give this dish the dark color for the sauce - it is a tricky dish to make.

Then add the diced tomatoes, onion and mushrooms -- this cools the pan down enough so the scallops and garlic stop cooking.

The tricky part is cooking the scallops and garlic long enough in the VERY hot pan to brown them but not burn them - adding the tomato first helps cool it down, then the onions & mushrooms and cook a minute or two -- then and some white wine.

Simmer for a minute or so longer, remove from heat and add cold butter and swirl to finish the sauce.
