Print Recipe
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or use olive oil
  • 16 large scallops
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 4 cups baby spinach

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place cherry tomato halves in a baking dish and toss with a little olive oil; season lightly with salt and pepper and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally to avoid burning.
  • Heat the ghee (or olive oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly season scallops with salt and pepper then add to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side; remove from pan and keep warm. If there isn’t any ghee left in the skillet, add a little olive oil.
  • Throw in garlic and shallots; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until shallots are beginning to get transparent.
  • Add spinach; cook and toss for 3 to 5 minutes or until spinach slightly wilts. Add cherry tomatoes and toss to combine with spinach mixture; serve over scallops.
