Sauteed Scallops with Watercress and Corn

2 ears of corn

1 oz balsamic vinegar

1 oz extra virgin olive oil

1 oz shallots, minced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 garlic clove, minced

1 oz cilantro, finely chopped

1 pound sea scallops

1 large bunch of watercress, stems removed

Grill corn in husks on barbeques, then let cool a bit and remove kernels.

In a medium skillet over a medium heat mix the vinegar, oil, shallots, mustard, garlic and cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. After a few minutes add scallops, cooking them until they're just cooked through, perhaps 3-4 minutes. Add corn after a couple minutes to warm.

Plate watercress, top with scallops and corn, drizzling remaining viinegar mix over scallops.

Serves 10 as a starter.
