Scallops Over Cauliflower Puree

I love serving these scallops over cauliflower puree!  Some people also call it cauliflower mash. Call it whatever you want. Just steam cauliflower until soft, put it in the blender with a shit ton of butter, puree until smooth. Boom.

I don’t usually buy scallops because they’re on the pricier side. But when I was in my local, organic grocery store, these were marked down because the day I was shopping also happened to be the “sell by” date for these babies. They were only $2.50! How awesome is that.
