Spice Mix Mix coffee, cumin, garlic & salt. This will make enough to use for other recipes also. Keep in airtight container. Coat scallops in spice mix. Heat oil in heavy bottomed pan - I use a cast iron. Add scallops and cook turning once. Scallops need to cook quickly and if cooked too long will be tough and chewy. Scallops come in different sizes and thickness - I use large ones if possible and cook for a minute to a minute and a half on each side. The scallops will go from translucent to opaque. I find that the secret to a good Flambéed is a hot oil. CAREFULLY add the Amaretto - on a gas stove this will ignite immediately with a lot of flame. Put scallop onto your dish - pour any remaining sauce over the top. Put a Dollap of Habanero Mango Aioli on top. Enjoy!
