Fusion Seared Scallops With Jack Daniels Coconut Sauce

Wipe scallops and lightly toss in a light olive oil and finely minced garlic. Sear on a hot skillet (not nonstick), remove to pan and hold in oven.

Add a little more olive oil to skillet and saute shallots lightly

Deglaze with Jack Daniel's, add chicken stock, reduce and add a large spoon of coconut cream (what sits on top of can if not shaken). Reduce until thick and add another small hit of Jack Daniel's.

Arrange scallops on plate, drizzle sauce on top, and sprinkle with freshly made lime zest curl (optional).
