1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
1/4 cup Honey Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions: In a sauce pan over medium heat combine pineapple, a small amount of olive oil & reduce by half. Season with salt & pepper. Add in cayenne & honey. Stir well. Place mixture in a food processor and pulse until you have a smooth consistency. Allow to cool. While sauce mixture is cooling add a few circles of olive oil to your skillet & heat over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt & pepper. When olive oil is hot, add your scallops to skillet. Sear your scallops before they are turned. Just a few minutes on each side is all it will take. Plate your scallops and generously put the sauce mixture on top. Garnish with fresh flat leaf parsley.
