I've had Rocky Mountain Oyster's from a pork producer! I loved your comment on Oyster's Rockefeller though! I tried your Scallops, that is a wonderful recipe! I added red pepper for color and flavor.

1 lb sea scallops or smaller bay scallops
Kosher salt and black pepper
all purpose flour for dredging
4 tblspns (1/2 stick) butter…unsalted preferred but salted is fine
1/2 cup chopped shallots (2 large)
1 minced garlic clove (I use a large clove or 2 smaller one))
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 chopped red pepper
lemon

If you are using the small bay scallops, keep them whole but if you are using larger sea scallops, cut each one in half horizontally .
Sprinkle with s and p, toss with flour and shake off excess. I find the larger scallops soak up the seasonings better when they are
browned. Don't overcook these beauties or they will be dry.

In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tblsps of butter over high heat until sizzling and add scallops in 1 layer. Lower heat to mediums
and brown lightly on 1 side without moving them..turn and brown lightly on other side…3-4 minutes total. Melt rest of the butter in
with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes , tossing the seasoning with the scallops.
Add the wine…cook for 1 minute and then taste the seasoning as you may want to add more salt or garlic or even Italian blend seasoning.
Serve hot with lemon or over pasta.

Glad you enjoyed. Good idea with the red pepper. I’ve added chopped green kale to mine at times. Like the idea of the red color. Think I will roast a red pepper next time and add it to the finished dish.
I’ll wait until my Granddaughter is home from college and asks for it, She’s not a fan of peppers but I know she would like a roasted red one,
The sea scallops are not cheap.

Cheers to good eating.
