Course : Italian
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

12 large sea scallops
1 teaspoon salt -- to taste
1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
4 small shallots -- thinly sliced
1/2 pound mixed wild mushrooms -- sliced 1/4 inch thick (oyster -- chanterelle, crimini)
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 medium frisee heads -- washed, spun dry
 

Preparation:

Season scallops with pepper only and set aside. In a 10- to 12-inch non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil until smoking. Place scallops in and do not move them. Allow them to cook until crisp and golden-brown, unmoved for 5 to 6 minutes. In a 12- to 14-inch normal sauté pan, heat remaining oil until smoking over high heat. Add shallots and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and toss 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add vinegar and then frisee. Toss quickly, season with salt and pepper and divide among 4 plates. Without turning the scallops, remove and arrange 3 on each salad. Drizzle with oil and serve.
