1 quart chicken stock
2 cups cream-style corn

2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups heavy cream

1
Toss the chicken stock, creamed corn, stick of butter and 2 tsps sea salt into a heavy-bottomed stock pot and bring to a fast boil. Add the Grits and give it all a good stir. Reduce heat and cook as per package directions until about 3/4 way done.

4
Wipe out the saute' pan, and turn the heat all the way up. Drizzle in a little Olive Oil. Season the Scallops with salt and pepper. Sear Scallops about 2 minutes a side ( maybe a few seconds more). DO NOT OVERCOOK. At the end of the second minute, turn fire down a bit, add cream sauce to scallops and reheat. Ladle scallops and sauce evenly on top of the grits.
