Pan-Seared Scallops on Red Onion Marmalade

Another special treat, but quick at the same time. Taylor wasn’t a fan of the lemon/ginger combination on the scallops, and thought garlic would work better. We both agreed, however, that the marmalade was fabulous and gave the dish great flavor. Pretty too. :)

Ingredients
16 large sea scallops (about 1 3/4 lbs)

3 medium red onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
