Ingredients

2 strips of Bacon, snipped into 1/4-inch matchsticks

10 Sea scallops, about 1/2 pound

Freshly ground Pepper, to taste

Drop of Olive Oil

3 C Baby Spinach, washed and dried

small squeeze of fresh Lemon

Sea salt, to taste

Directions

Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add bacon strips; stir until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Set your kitchen timer for 1 minute. Keeping heat lively, sprinkle scallops with pepper, then place scallops in the pan, one by one, as quickly as possible. When they are all in, start timer. When it beeps, flip scallops over, cover pan, and restart timer for 1 minute. When it goes off, transfer scallops from pan to two dinner plates.

Add a drizzle of olive oil to hot pan and then add the baby spinach, giving it a few turns, until it just starts to wilt.

Mound the spinach next to the scallops, add a tiny squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Toss a few bacon bits on top and serve.
