Seared Honey Paprika Scallops

1: Prepare scallops by thawing, drying, and seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika; brush with honey.

2: Heat ghee or coconut oil in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.

3: Sear the scallops for about 2 minutes per side in batches to avoid overcrowding.

4: Once cooked, remove scallops from the pan and set aside.

5: For the Alfredo sauce, soak raw cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain.

6: Add soaked cashews, onion powder, garlic powder, white miso, lemon juice, potato starch, tapioca starch, coconut milk, warm water, olive oil, mustard powder, salt, honey, and coconut aminos to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

7: Place the blended mixture on the stove over medium heat and whisk until thickened for 1-2 minutes; do not boil.
