Sautéed Sea Scallops with Chipotle Orange Sauce

2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb sea scallops
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallots
3 to 4 canned chipotle chiles, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
juice of 3 oranges
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
grated zest of 1 orange
2 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
rice cooked with cilantro and scallions

In a large, heavy skillet, melt 1-1/2 tablespoon butter over high heat. When it begins to brown, sauté the scallops for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat until browned all over. Drain on paper towels. Wipe pan clean and melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium heat and sauté garlic, shallots and chipotle chiles for 1 to 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Add wine and cook to reduce sauce by half. Add orange juice and cook to reduce by two-thirds. Add cream, zest and cilantro and cook over low heat about 10 minutes until sauce thickens. Reheat scallops in the sauce and serve over rice.

Serves 4.
