Chipotle Orange Scallops

This is an amazing appetizer for any meal.  I love the taste of chipotle pepper and love adobo sauce even more; so I figured why not use the on scallops to make them out of this world.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. Sea Scallops

Chipotle Chili Powder, Garlic Salt and Cumin for dusting scallops

2 T Butter, divided

1 Chipotle Pepper, diced

2tsp. Adobo Sauce

1/4 C Orange Juice

Cooking Spray

Directions:

-Dust both sides of scallops with chili powder, garlic salt and cumin.

-Spray skillet with cooking spray and melt 1 T butter over medium to medium high heat (every stove is different).

-Add scallops to hot pan cook 1-3 minutes per side or until lightly golden and cooked, flip and cook 1-2 minutes or until cooked.  Remove from pan and set aside.

-Add in remaining butter, orange juice and adobo sauce, bring to low boil and cook until sauce thickens and reduces by half.

-Remove pan from heat, add in cooked scallops and toss in sauce. Serve immediately, Enjoy!
