Scallops and Roasted Vegetables

Step 1

For the scallops

Step 2

First pan fry the bacon, chop into small pieces and set aside. Remove about half of the bacon grease from the skillet. While the bacon is cooking, pat dry the scallops and remove the side mussels. Over medium-high heat, sear the scallops, about 2 minutes per side or until no longer opaque. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. I don't cook the scallops until the very end.

Step 3

Cube the butternut squash and quarter the Brussels sprouts. Slice the mushrooms and cut the red peppers into strips. Using 1-2 TB of leftover bacon grease, (or other oil if you are not using bacon), pan fry the veggies on medium until tender.
