Seared Scallops with Spinach Tomato Orzo

Ingredients:

1 pound sea scallops
1 package orzo pasta
2 cups grape tomatoes, sliced
1 bag spinach
1 onion, diced
1 bunch scallions, diced
salt and pepper to taste
extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Prepare the scallops by drying them completely on a paper towel and seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. In a pot, boil water and cook the orzo pasta.

3. In a saucepan, saute the onions, scallions, spinach and tomatoes together with the extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Once the pasta has cooked, add it to the spinach and tomato mixture. Top with parmesan cheese and mix throughout.

5. In a saucepan, heat up some olive oil and place the scallops in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes without touching them to create a crispy crust. Turn and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Once cooked, let rest on a paper towel.
