Champagne Scallops & Asparagus
- 10 large cloves garlic, peeled and halved
- 2 Tbsp. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread
- 20 large sea scallops, rinsed and dried
- 1/4 cup apple juice or cider
- 1/4 cup chopped shallots or onions
- 1/4 cup dry Champagne or white wine
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup or pancake syrup
- 4 Tbsp. finely chopped chives, divided
- Hot cooked rice
- 1 lb. asparagus, cooked

Cover garlic with water in 1-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 5 minutes. Remove garlic and set aside.
Melt I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread in 12-inch skillet over medium heat and cook 1 minute or until lightly golden. Add scallops and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until scallops are golden. Remove scallops and set aside.

This dinner turned out amazingly well, husband loved it, i loved it. Perfect thank-you.
Champagne and scallops is a combo to die for and the Asparagus goes wonderful try and make sure to keep the Asparagus in the under cooked side rather than overcook it for the best results.
My wife really loves Scallops so I am sure she will enjoy this.
wow my husband loved these!
This looks so fancy and the fact that its a Smart Choice recipe makes it even better.
follow the instructions on this one folks the heat has to be exact or you'll over cook it or burn it.
This was a very nice "adult" meal for a change, me and the hubby had a night to ourselves and i wanted it to be special, this great meal was the start to our great night :)
this is a really classy seafood dish I enjoyed it very much
