- 1 1/3 lb large scallops, ligament removed
- 2 tsp vegetable oil

Ingredient List Scallops Glaze:
- 2 tsp ginger, minced
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce (regular or gluten free)
- 1 orange zested and ½ cup orange juice (1 juicy orange)
- 1 lime zested and 2 Tbsp lime juice (1 juicy lime)
- 1 ½ Tbsp mirin

Instructions
- Remove tough ligament on side of scallop if it's attached. If you're not sure, ask the seafood counter to remove it or show you what it is. It's small and on the side and removes gently and easily.
- Bring a large non stick pan to medium high heat, add vegetable oil and butter to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
- Salt the scallops lightly.
- Sear the scallops in a single layer uncovered for ~ 2 minutes per side. You will need to cook the scallops in batches if the pan is not big enough.
- Set scallops aside on a plate.
- Add all glaze ingredients into scallop pan and simmer sauce uncovered for ~ 4 minutes or until reduced by half and sticky.
- Toss the cooked scallops back in the pan to warm them up and cover them in the sticky sauce.
- Add salt to taste.
Notes
- Serve sticky orange scallops over salad, rice, or noodles.
