Jerk Seasoning:

This is not too hot, to increase heat add more cayenne.

1TBL onion flakes

1TBL onion powder

2tsp ground thyme

2tsp salt

1tsp allspice

1/4tsp ground nutmeg

1/4tsp ground cinnamon

2tsp sugar

1tsp fresh ground balck pepper

1tsp cayenne pepper

2tsp dried chives

Mix it all together.

makes 5 tablespoons

The cooking of scallops needs close attention as they can quickly be turned from succulant to rubber.

NOTE: For 8 people as an appertizer or 2 - 3 persons as a main course:

Heat;

2 TBL butter and

2 TBL oil over medium high heat until blended.

Add 1 LB scallops and saute just till they change colour.

Add 2 TBL Jerk seasoning and

3 TBL white wine.

Stir and quickly remove from stove top

Serve over rice that has been moistened with the cooking liquid.

 
This sounds great, Joanie. I think I'll try the seasoning with chicken or shrimp. Thanks.
