Instructions
1: Season the scallops with salt and pepper and set aside. 2: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, pepper, lemon zest, and smashed garlic. Set aside. 3: Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, then add the scallops one at a time—careful to not overcrowd (you can do this in two batches). Sear the scallops on each side for 1 ½ minutes, then remove and set onto a plate. 4: Reduce the heat to medium low. Allow the pan to cool slightly for 2 minutes, then slowly pour the Knob Creek Rye onto the pan to deglaze the pan. 5: Add the butter and allow it to melt for one minute, then add the honey mixture. Mix together with a rubber spatula. Cook the mixture over medium-low for 7-9 minutes until it begins to slightly bubble. Remove the garlic, then add the scallops back to the pan. 6: Cook for another 2 minutes in the butter sauce and serve.View original recipe
