Curried Scallops with Spinach Recipe

Curried Scallops with Spinach Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
  • 1 cup light cream or half-and-half
  • 2 cups shredded spinach
  • 2 pounds sea scallops
  1. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Transfer the onion mixture to a blender and add the tomato paste, broth, and cream. Puree until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan.
  3. Bring the curry sauce just to a simmer. Stir in the spinach and scallops. Simmer, covered, until the scallops are just done, 5 to 7 minutes.
