Paint Some Produce

07/06/17 10:04 AM

June is national Fruit and Veggie Month and Old Beach Farmers Market is all in.

Heather Donis, a Virginia Beach artist known for her popular paint parties, needs your help in painting a mural of local produce. All market customers are invited to grab a brush and help produce a masterpiece that will be hung on the mural wall in the nearby 18th Street Parklet.

SEAFOOD … AND SOAP

Jubilee Seafood has fresh-picked crabmeat, bags of Eastern Shore oysters and clams and sea scallops. The hard crabs they are catching are still small and cost $35 for a dozen of #1 size. Preorder hard crabs via email, jubileeseafoodco@gmail.com, and pick them up by 10am.

Welcome back to Kevin Anderson of Tasha’s Own. We’ve missed your delightful goat’s milk soap.

RECIPE
BOURBON & BROWN SUGAR SCALLOPS

Three of my favorite flavors combine in this sensational seafood dish: bourbon, brown sugar and scallops. This is a quick-and-easy entree to prepare; the most you’ll wait is for the scallops to marinate in the refrigerator. Be sure to use local scallops and look for a Virginia bourbon or other whiskey, too.

In a plastic zip-top bag, add 3 tablespoons bourbon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon lime juice and a dash or two of freshly ground black pepper. Add 1 pound of scallops, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add scallops and marinade and space scallops out evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove scallops to a serving platter and bring marinade to a boil for 2 to 3 minutes; drizzle over scallops and serve with a garnish of fresh cilantro.

Makes 4 servings.
