Curry-Crusted Sea Scallops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 ounces sea scallops
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder (if yours is more than 6 months old, buy new, it loses it flavor quickly)
olive oil flavored cooking spray
salt & fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons apricot jam
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sliced scallions

Preparation

Rinse and drain scallops, and pat dry with a paper towel. Toss with the curry powder, coating all sides.
Heat a nonstick skillet on high and spray with olive oil. Saute scallops 3 minutes per side. Add salt and pepper to taste and remove to a bowl.
Add 1/4 cup water and the apricot jam to the skillet; simmer 30 seconds, stirring to melt jam. Add cream and simmer 1 minute to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon sauce over scallops and sprinkle scallions on top.
