4 hour body dinner: pan seared scallops and curried green pea puree. with crisp proscuitto!

This was freaking delicious. I'm not joking. go buy the stuff for it right now.

first thing you need to do is get some wild sea scallops. get the big ones, the small ones always end up really salty and weird tasting to me. Giant Sea Scallops, Wild Caught. that's what you want.

defrost em.  I made 7 here, and ate all of this (in case you haven't noticed, I'm almost always cooking for one, so double or triple of quadruple or however many people you're cooking for. I'm just me.)


Put two slices of procuitto in a 375° oven.
Heat up a pot and a pan with about a tablespoon of ghee in each. (I like to cook with butter or ghee, you go right ahead and use whatever you like. ghee is kind of expensive or time consuming.)
Medium heat for the pot, medium high for the pan.

Cook some garlic in the pot, when it smells delicious, throw in one cup of frozen peas and half a cup of water. Little bit of salt, pepper, garam Marsala, (or curry powder. about a tsp of this.) thai chili sauce, unless you're heat sensitive. Boil for like... 5 minutes. (check your proscuitto right now or it might be burnt. take it out when it's crispy.)
 
Meanwhile, in camelot, dry off your defrosted scallops and season them with salt and pepper, put them in the pan with the hot cooking grease of your choice, sear for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until cooked through and there's a nice brown colour on the outside. Scallops stick like the bejezzus if you don't move them around a little but when you first start cooking them, so make sure you do that.

Puree the peas and whatever pea-broth is left in the pot with an immersion blender or regular blender. Plate the pea puree, crumble the crispy procuitto on top, plate scallops, garnish if you're so inclined.
Yum. Easy-peasy as they say, and this was suuuper tasty and fast.

protein: (can't find proscuittos information, so I'm counting 2 slices of it like 1 slice of bacon.) 3g. I'm a little unsure about scallops too, but I'm going to count 7 of them at about 150g which is 35g protein and peas which is 8g for a total of 46g.
