To serve I added some pomegranate seeds for some juicy fruity season, and some chopped macadamia nuts for actress crunch, and additional cilantro and chopped chives for garnish.

Summer is in total swing and in that location's nothing I dearest better than some fresh seafood and grilling exterior with friends and family unit. Living in St Pete, Florida, I am spoiled with all of the fresh seafood options here – and ane of my favorites is Blackened Scallops, (and any blackened seafood really!). This inspired my recipeBlackened Scallops with Grilled Basil Butter Corn + Watermelon Jicama Salsa for the Sam's Salsa Recipe Challenge… and it's full of fresh, bright, tropical flavors and summer goodness.

Sam's Fresh Salsa started in the 70's on a family farm in New Bailiwick of jersey, and is even so going strong making succulent homemade salsas with only the freshest fruits, vegetables and ingredients.

Their salsas have no preservatives or artificial ingredients, and are free of additives too. And they taste just like homemade; the kind you would find in an accurate Mexican eatery or made fresh at abode. They besides accept several other delicious salsa flavors such equally Cantina Medium Salsa and Salsa Verde, and a variety of fresh salsas ranging from Mild to Actress Hot.

I made the Basil Butter past creaming the ii ingredients together with a little bit of fresh lime juice and creole seasoning and let it sit for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together, so I mixed in the butter with the shaved grilled corn, sautéed shallots, and green onions.

I blackened the sea scallops in a hot bandage iron pan in some clarified butter for a few minutes on each side to go them nice and browned.

I plated the Blackened Scallops on summit of the Grilled Basil Butter Corn and topped the dish with some lovely Watermelon Jicama Salsa and more green onions, fresh basil and a few pieces of chopped watermelon for garnish.

Y'all guys..this dish is a Flavour Bomb!!! The spicy scallops over the savory, buttery corn with basil and shallots mixed with a hint of sweetness from the Watermelon Jicama salsa is absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!

Summer on a plate, really. And totally delightful.

Hey folks, happy Tuesday! Just some other chilly January 24-hour interval here…I had a serious craving for some seriously practiced craven today so I made these Savory Pan-Seared Craven Thighs for lunch. Yous guys – these are the BOMB. And seriously tasty.

photo credit: Dale's Seasoning

Dale's Steak Seasoning is my secret ingredient in this recipe – it's a savory marinade made with a blend of exotic spices, originating in Birmingham AL. I discovered in the early 90'south while living in Atlanta GA when my ex introduced me to it… we were grilling burgers out with some friends and allow'due south just say I got quite addicted to this delicious sauce verrryyy quickly – it was love at outset sight actually. Now I apply information technology on about EVERYTHING: chicken, steak, pork, burgers, and even grilled lamb or quail! It's gives such a rich flavor to anything you lot put information technology on, really and so you don't need a lot of extra seasonings when using it.

The recipe is super piece of cake too – I poured about 1/4 cup of the Dale's Seasoning marinade over the craven thighs into a mixing bowl and then added 2 tablespoons olive oil, a nuance of black pepper and red pepper flakes, a tablespoon of dried chives, a little garlic powder…

and then a dash of my other surreptitious ingredient, Trader Joe's Mushroom + Co Multipurpose Umami Seasoning, which is a blend of porcini and white button mushroom powder, sea salt, dried onion powder, ground mustard seed, crushed red pepper, blackness pepper, and dried thyme, that add tons of #UMAMI to the dish that I can't even describe.

Poke a few holes on each chicken thigh and mush it all over the craven with tongs and then let it all marinate in a large plastic baggie or mixing bowl in the fridge for well-nigh thirty mins.  So, pan-sear the chicken thighs in a large sauté pan over medium-high for five minutes on each side until crispy and browned, and the sauce gets a piffling syrupy and caramelized. (You tin can also bake or grill them of form if you prefer.) The terminal crown impact was I topped the craven with some crispy fried garlic flakes for extra crunch and flavor (the kind y'all find in an Asian market..if y'all can't find these, you tin sub crispy fried onions or shallots crushed upwards or make your ain)…. oh my goodness, this is truly the best #chicken I have Always tasted!

Yous can apply my marinade recipe on whatsoever protein or veggies you prefer, it'due south that versatile and total of flavor. And like I mentioned it's super delish on grilled burgers also. I tin can't even tell you lot how much I love this stuff. So with that said, here'southward the actual recipe below. Feel costless to use it on anything and everything and I promise you lot will never go dorsum to dry out, bland, tasteless chicken ever once again and you will be every bit hooked on this stuff equally I am..I hope!

Simply sprinkle the burgers with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper Montreal Steak seasoning and turn a grill upwards to loftier rut.

Grill the burgers for about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare (less or more than to your liking and temperature.)

While y'all are grilling the burgers, cook the bacon in the oven on a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet pan for 20 minutes at 400 degrees F until crispy and brown. (it's less messy this manner and the bacon gets really crispy and evenly cooked.) Drain on newspaper towels and crumble or chop coarsely.

Make the base salad with some fresh mixed greens with royal cabbage, romaine and green leaf lettuce, and so add together the crumbled salary, shredded Cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions. Feel free to apply whatever lettuce yous like – spinach, arugula, romaine, iceberg, mixed greens and play with whatsoever cheese you like too – Muenster, Swiss, Monterey Jack are all great picks. Slice the grilled burgers and summit the salad with a creamy Sriracha Ranch dressing.

You can also substitute mayo for the ranch dressing forth with the Sriracha or ketchup and add a few diced dill pickles (similar a special sauce dressing). Or effort a chunky creamyblue cheese dressing or Italian vinaigrette dressing topped with blue cheese crumbles which are equally delicious and the blue cheese goes great with the salary!

Try melting the cheese on top of the burgers while grilling instead, if yous like your cheese melted on the burgers instead of shredded on the salad. Anyhow y'all go far – this salad is the Flop. It'south like a bacon #cheeseburger deluxe in a bowl. And then succulent, you won't fifty-fifty miss the bun!

2. Place salary on a wire rack over a baking sheet (or use foil on a sail pan) and cook for 18-23 minutes until salary is crispy, turning bacon over halfway through cooking time. (You can too cook the bacon over medium estrus on the stovetop in a large sauté pan until crispy and done). Drain the bacon on paper towels, chop/crumble and set up aside.
3. Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high. Meanwhile, season the ground beef burger patties with salt and pepper, making an indentation in the center of each.
4. Brush the burgers with oil and grill for nigh five minutes, plow over and grill for another v minutes until burger is cooked through medium-rare (adjust time for desired temperature).
5. Remove from grill and let residual for 5-10 minutes, cutting burgers into ½ inch slices.
6. Brand the salad dressing in a small mixing basin by adding Sriracha to the ranch dressing, mix together well.
7. In a large salad or mixing bowl, add lettuce and mixed greens, salary, shredded cheese, halved tomatoes, and red onion slices, tossing salad together. Divide salad mixture between four medium bowls.
8. Place the burgers on top of the salad and drizzle with Sriracha ranch dressing.

Notes

You can also substitute mayo for the ranch dressing or utilise blue cheese dressing without the sriracha and it's equally delicious. Or an Italian vinaigrette dressing with blue cheese crumbles which goes great with the bacon! Feel gratis to employ whatever lettuce you like - spinach, arugula, romaine, iceberg, mixed greens and play with any cheese yous similar too - Muenster and Monterey Jack or Gruyere are all keen melty cheeses that go smashing with burgers. Feel free to add a few sliced dill pickles to the salad or the dressing too for extra zippy tangy flavor.

But wait..it'due south only August…

Hope you're having a fantastic one yourselves and getting enough of succulent bites and drinks, travel, quality time with friends and family, and some sun, sand and surf in besides.

Cocktails at Sandbar in the sun…and gorgeous sunsets on the west coast of Florida…and that's just the beginning.
