Pan Seared Scallops with Roasted Garlic Mashers and Pesto cream Sauce


Mrs. Beeze had a sh!t day today...
So we have to hook her up with a good dinner...Especially if I want to get some stank on the hang low...She loves scallops....So here we go.

First put some gloves of garlic in a small pan with Olive oil...Throw it in the oven at about 400 degrees...let it get soft, and browned...

The sauce....

If you want to buy it that's cool, but if you want to make it here you go....Fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, salt & pepper, a tiny bit of Dijon mustard, and spinach..I use the spinach to stretch it, and brighten the color up. Throw all that in a food processor, and slowly add olive oil as it is running....you just want it to be pasty....

Then you heat some heavy cream and whisk in your pesto....set aside...

When your spuds are ready to be mixed...add the garlic...not the oil...just the garlic....mix that sh!t up good...They'll taste great...Keep the oil!!!

Lightly season scallops with a little Salt & pepper...Saute your scallops and some grape tomatoes in a little of the garlic oil...They'll only need a couple minutes each side....

To plate it up....Put the garlic spuds in the center of the plate...Put the sauce around the potaoes...Place the scallops and tomatoes on the sauce around the spuds....

Enjoy!

Later the Beeze
