Recipe Instructions

- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- On a foil-lined sheet pan, toss the cauliflower rice with a drizzle of oil, the spices and S&P.
- Roast, 8 to 10 min., until softened and lightly browned.
- Switch the oven to broil, 2 min., until crispy.

- Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley leaves and stems.
- Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat dry; season with S&P. If necessary, remove the muscle on the edge.

- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the scallops and cook, 1 to 2 min. on one side, until partially cooked.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve the pan.

- In the same pan, heat 3 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Return the scallops and sprinkle the butter with ½ the parsley.
- Cook, swirling the pan often, 1 to 2 min., until the butter foams and turns a deep golden brown and the scallops* are cooked as desired.
- Off the heat, add the capers; stir well.

- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar (start with ½) and 2 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions).
- Add the baby watercress and S&P; toss well.

- Divide the cauliflower rice between your plates.
- Top with the scallops and brown butter sauce.
- Garnish with the remaining parsley and the salad. Bon appétit!
