Raspberry Chipotle SEA SCALLOPS

WHAT A BREAKFAST!


Our first morning in our new permanent temp housing, we are at the mercy of what foods we moved here from the hotel.  My big shopping trip for the week will happen later today.  I have been reading a few of your weekly menu planning posts, and I think I am set.  Not meaning to complain (I am 30 yards from the ocean and beach), but it is about a mile and a half walk to the store (all uphill).  I will take a cab back with a couple hundred dollars worth of staples and what I need for the week.  But walking up a hill to fetch an onion is now my option if I don't have it on my shopping list.  So, for the betters among you... what's the over/under line on numbers of trips to the grocery store this week?  My guess, in addition to today, 2 days out of the next 7 I will be hoofing it up to the store.


But, that is for later... today, let me tell you about my breakfast yesterday.  I had found a 5 pound bag of frozen sea scallops earlier in the week.  I have already made some GRILLED Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops. I had eggs, some of the Caribbean Baked Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppers. So I knew that there was going to be omelets on the menu.  The only meat we had in the house was the scallops.  So, time to Za Za Zing em up a bit.

I just Fried em in a little canola oil. 

A little crispy on the outside, but still butter soft on the inside.

And then I Just put the sauteed scallops in a bowl and heated a little of the Raspberry Chipotle sauce I had brought from home (yes, the Fischer and Wieser, handcrafted one jar at a time, THE ORIGINAL ROASTED RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE SAUCE that I always rave about

(only a little left... = (

If you are not lucky enough to have a jar, this is just too simple.  Use some BBQ sauce, some finishing glaze, even a little mustard mixed with a tad hot sauce.


I made another omelet the Julia Child way.  I added the last of the Caribbean Baked Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppers.


The whole plate... Not just a little good, A TON GOOD!


 Add a little Za Za Zing to the most important meal.
