Scallops with Wilted Spinach
Two of my favorite foods are bacon and seafood. In this dish, I get them together with white wine, shallots and baby spinach. Serve with bread to soak up the tasty broth. —Deborah Williams, Peoria, Arizona
Ingredients

- 12 sea scallops (about 1-1/2 pounds), side muscles removed

I love this and usually serve it over a bed of fresh linguini. Because of the high heat involved, I suggest that you add a small amount of the bacon fat to a neutral oil such as grapeseed oil. It raises the smoke point without sacrificing the flavor of the bacon.
These were really yummy. I used white wine and added some from fresh chopped garlic in with the shallots. I drizzled a balsamic reduction over the finished product. I will make again.
we enjoyed it very much. I didn't have but 6 oz. pack of spinach and it would have been better with the 8 oz. at least. I also used a medium sweet onion instead of the shallots and the chicken broth. It might have been better with white wine but it was still great.
