Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds large scallops, cleaned
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
Canola oil nonstick spray

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for no more than 1 hour.

Heat a nonstick cast-iron griddle until very hot. Lightly spray griddle with canola oil nonstick spray. Remove scallops from plastic bag and arrange on the hot griddle so that the scallops are not too close together. Cook for 2 minutes on each side and then remove from heat. Serve with a side of quickly sauteed vegetables of your choice.

Bland but too hot!

After following the recipe for marinating, I proceeded to cook the scallops. They looked wonderful until my boyfriend and I... ate them. They were overwhelmingly bland but too hot at the same time. We had to throw them out and eat leftover turkey from Christmas!Read more
