Scallion Butter Scallops with Succotash

Succotash is a truly historic American dish, originally introduced to early European colonists by indigenous Americans in the 17th century. It is a stew, of sorts, mainly consisting of lima beans and corn. This version is slightly modified, adding in bacon, cherry tomatoes, and okra (feel free to omit the okra if it is not one of your favorite veggies). The scallops are lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, and broiled with a simple, yet extremely flavorful, scallion butter. Serve the scallops, ‘scampi-style’, by portioning them into a bowl and drizzling with the butter for a very tasty meal.

  • ½ cup frozen okra, thawed

Directions

1) Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add diced bacon, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. 

2) While the bacon is cooking, place 4 tbsp of butter in a Suvie pan, and sprinkle with ¼ cup of chopped scallions. Pat scallops dry with paper towels and add them to the pan in a single layer, nestling the scallops in and around the butter pats. Place 1 cup of lima beans, ½ cup okra, ½ cup corn, ½ cup cherry tomatoes, and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar in another Suvie pan. Once the bacon is crisp, transfer to the Suvie pan with the vegetables, along with any drippings, and stir to combine.
