Title: Braised Scallops with Grapefruit and Walnuts
Categories: Seafood
Yield: 4 Servings

2		Pink grapefruit
1	lb	Sea scallops
1/2	c	Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
2	tb	Walnut or olive oil
1/2	c	Walnuts, finely chopped
2	tb	Minced chives or green onion for garnish

Peel, seed and section one of the grapefruits. Squeeze the juice from the second grapefruit.

Lightly coat the scallops in seasoned flour, patting to remove the excess. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick skillet. When the oil is very hot, add the scallops and cook over medium heat until brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the scallops to a pan and set aside.

Add the grapefruit juice to the skillet and bring to a boil. Stir in the walnuts, then add the scallops and grapefruit sections to the pan and simmer gently until the scallops are cooked to taste, 2-3 minutes. Arrange on individual plates, sprinkle with chives and serve.
