Caramelized Scallops With Brussels Sprouts In Fish Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 12 pieces Large Sea Scallops, Cleaned And Connection Muscle Removed
- 4 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 6 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Lightly Smashed
- 12 pieces Large Brussels Sprouts, Cleaned And Halved
- 1/2 cups Water
- 1.
- To make the sauce, mix together the fish sauce, apple cider vinegar and honey.
- Set aside.
- 2.
- Pat dry the scallops.
- Then generously sprinkle the black pepper all over the scallops.
- 3.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the skillet completely.
- Once the oil starts to ripple, add the scallops one-by-one in one layer.
- 4.
- Leave the scallops undisturbed until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- 5.
- Use tongs to flip the scallops one-by-one.
- Repeat step 4 to brown the bottoms.
- 6.
- Once the scallops are caramelized, use tongs to remove each scallop from the skillet gently.
- Set them aside.
- 7.
- Add the garlic and Brussels sprouts into the skillet.
- Stir a couple times.
- Add the water in and use a spatula to release all the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Leave the skillet uncovered and bring the water to boil.
- Leave as is until the water is almost evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Use a knife to check the doneness of the Brussels sprouts.
- They should be easily pricked in but still have a little give in the middle.
- The goal here is to cook the Brussels sprouts to the right point and cook off most of the liquid at the same time.
- 8.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are ready, add back in the scallops and pour the sauce over everything.
- Stir a couple times gently to coat the sauce evenly onto the scallops and Brussels sprouts.
- 9.
- Serve hot.
