Brown Butter Scallops with Fresh Corn Polenta

Plus: I'm very confused about how many scallops I'm supposed to eat???

Y’all,

Let me just start by saying that Hunzi declares this “one of the best things you’ve ever made”(!) High praise indeed.

While developing this recipe, I discovered that pretty much all the scallop recipes on the major recipe sites call for a pound of sea scallops for a recipe that, allegedly, serves 4 people. This roughly breaks down to 3 scallops per person. I KNOW I know these recipes call for “large” sea scallops (as opposed to the punier tater tot-size bay scallops), but I don’t understand. Who eats 3 scallops for a meal? Are these recipes all meant to be served as an appetizer? Is this a dinner party for ants? Should I feel weird for eating 7 or 8 or 9 scallops????? (I refuse to feel weird for eating 7 or 9 or 9 scallops, world of professional recipes be damned.)
