Prep Time: 30 min

Ingredients

• 1 bag Naked Seafoods scallops

• 1 bag red bliss potatoes

• 1 gallon apple cider

• 1 bunch chopped sage

• 1 bottle Chef Dan’s BBQ Dry Rub

• 1 stick butter

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 tablespoon s smoked paprika

Directions

Mashed Potatoes:
Place potatoes & water in a pot big enough to hold the amount you have. Boil potatoes till soft. Strain out your potatoes & place back into the pot. If you have a mixer slowly mix potato’s, 1/2 stick butter and milk season to taste with salt, pepper & 1 table spoon paprika.

Scallops:
Pat scallops fry with paper towel while your pan gets hot. You want your non stick pan to be very hot. After patting dry the scallops coat them with Chef Dan’s BBQ Dry Rub. Add a little canola oil to your pan and add your scallops. Get a good sear on scallops and turn heat down to med low (this will be about a 2 min sear time). Let cook for another 1-2 min based upon scallops size. Once cooked pull scallops from pan and set aside

Cider glaze:
In same pan as your scallops add in 1 cup of apple cider and reduce till almost gone. At this point add in 1tablespoon of butter and make sure you mix it in. Pull off heat and add in 1/2 your chopped sage.

Plating up:
Take your mashed potatoes and make a line down half the plate like a nice purée. Place your scallops (3-4) on potato puree. Drizzle scallops with the cider glaze. Garnish your plate with the remaining chopped sage and a pinch of Chef Dan’s BBQ Rub.
