Flambéed Scallops in a coffee cumin spice topped with habanero mango aioli
Spice Mix
Mix coffee, cumin, garlic & salt. This will make enough to use for other recipes also. Keep in airtight container.
Coat scallops in spice mix.
Heat oil in heavy bottomed pan - I use a cast iron.
Add scallops and cook turning once. Scallops need to cook quickly and if cooked too long will be tough and chewy.
Scallops come in different sizes and thickness - I use large ones if possible and cook for a minute to a minute and a half on each side.
The scallops will go from translucent to opaque.
I find that the secret to a good Flambéed is a hot oil.
CAREFULLY add the Amaretto - on a gas stove this will ignite immediately with a lot of flame.
Put scallop onto your dish - pour any remaining sauce over the top.
Put a Dollap of Habanero Mango Aioli on top.
Enjoy!
The fresher the scallop the better the taste. Frozen scallops work well but there is a trade off in taste.
