Scallops with Chipotle-Orange Sauce
2 T. butter, divided
Cooking spray
1 1/2 lb. large sea scallops
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. salt, divided
1/2 C. fresh orange juice
1 T. finely chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1/4 C. chopped green onions
Melt 1 T. butter in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat, until pan is hot. Sprinkle scallops with paprika and 1/8 tsp. salt. Add scallops to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan, and keep warm. Add orange juice and chile to the pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1/4 C. (about 1 minute). Add 1 T. butter and 1/8 tsp. salt, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Serve the sauce with scallops, and garnish with the onions.
