Ingredients:

Serving

1 (20 oz) package frozen squash
1 tbsp butter
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp plus 1/4 tsp ground ginger
10 sea scallops, rinsed (about 1 lb.)
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp canola oil

Directions:

Prepare squash per package directions. Add butter, cayenne, 1/8 tsp ginger, and 1/8 tsp salt.
Pat scallops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sprinkle scallops with 1/4 tsp salt on both sides, then press one side of each scallop into the spice mixture; set aside spice sides up.
In a skillet, heat the oil on medium high until very hot, but not smoking. Add the scallops, spice sides down. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Turn over and cook 2 minutes more or until golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove from heat.
Divide squash between two plates. Top with scallops. Garnish with cut chives, if desired.
