Scallops with Grapefruit and Bacon

Ingredients:

• 1 large grapefruit
• 3 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1-by-1/4-inch matchsticks
• 1 1/4 pounds sea scallops (about 20)
• Salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1/2 cup Sauvignon Blanc
• 2 tablespoons drained capers
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions:

1. Peel the grapefruit, removing all the bitter white pith, and cut between the membranes to release the sections. Squeeze the juice from the membrane into a bowl; you should have about 3 tablespoons of juice.
2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over moderate heat until crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small plate, leaving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
3. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the scallops, add the onion, and cook until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
4. Add the wine and grapefruit juice to the skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook, scraping up any browned bits. Strain the liquid into a cup, then return it to the skillet. Add the capers and butter and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Add the scallops and any juices back to the skillet, turning to coat them with the sauce. Finally, add the grapefruit sections and bacon, and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful dish!
