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.
