In a small bowl, add ½ tsp. curry powder, ¼ tsp. garlic powder, ⅛ tsp. onion powder and ⅛ tsp. cardamom.
1.
2.
Add 1 tsp. grape seed oil and stir. Set beside the oven.
3.
Pat 5 sea scallops dry and set them in a bowl beside the spiced oil.
4.
Slice a lime in half and set one of the halves beside the scallops and oil. You want to have everything easily accessible because the cooking process will be FAST.
5.
Place a heavy sauté pan on your hottest burner and turn the heat too HIGH. Allow it to heat for at least 30 seconds. Add 1 tsp. grape seed oil and quickly add scallops. Spread them out in the pan.
6.
Allow them to sear on one side for 1½ minutes without touching them. Flip them over and allow them to sear for 1½ minutes.
7.
Quickly add the spice-oil mixture, and flip them, making sure they’re smeared in the spice oil. Allow them to cook for 30 seconds more.
8.
Quickly turn off the heat, and spray the pan with lime juice. Allow it to steam for a few seconds. Remove the scallops and serve.
