Buttered Scallops with Bacon & Brown Sugar Brussels Sprouts Buttered Scallops with Bacon & Brown Sugar Brussels Sprouts — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 9 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

12 slices bacon

1.36 kg Brussels sprouts

1.02 kg sea scallops

1 ½ medium yellow onions

black pepper

brown sugar

butter, unsalted

red wine vinegar

salt

Instructions

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary.

Meanwhile, peel and small dice the onions.

Once the bacon is cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels; pat to remove excess oil. Crumble or chop into small pieces and set aside.

Return skillet (with bacon fat) to the stove over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, 5-7 minutes.

Wash, trim ends, and thinly slice Brussels sprouts.

Add the Brussels sprouts, vinegar, sugar, and salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and tender, 4-6 minutes. Once done, transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.

Return skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter.

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Carefully add scallops to the skillet in a single layer; cook until they develop a nice sear and are opaque throughout, 1½-2 minutes per side. Once done, transfer to a clean plate. Work in batches if necessary.

Add additional butter to the skillet and swirl to coat. Repeat with the remaining scallops.

To serve, divide the Brussels sprouts between plates. Top with the scallops and crumbled bacon. Enjoy!
