My review
Buzzard's Bay Bourbon Scallops
Doug Matthews
"This dish was conceptualized for the Victory Dinner Celebration at the 2014 Buzzard's Bay Cup Challenge. It played off local and imported ingredients for the event. I like to serve these over a field of wilted greens like Swiss or rainbow chard."

Ready In
- Melt 1/4 cup butter, 2 ounces bourbon, and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sea scallops in hot butter-bourbon mixture until browned and just about cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to a plate and drain any excess liquid from the skillet.
- Whisk remaining butter, remaining bourbon, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in the same skillet over medium-high heat until sauce reduces and alcohol evaporates, 1 to 3 minutes. Drizzle sauce over scallops.

Very well received, for a twist I fried our green beans in the saucepan after steaming, added a bit of chili paste and the meal was excellent :)

Any recipe that gives me an excuse to buy Bourbon is a keeper in my book. Careful, the cayenne powder really has a kick!
