Ingredients:
1/2 Cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon corn syrup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 3 tablespoons sugar, water, and corn syrup. Mix together and simmer to thicken. Reserve.

Add oil and butter to a saute pan over medium heat. Salt and pepper the sea scallops and add to pan. Coat sea scallops with 1/2 cup of sugar. Allow scallops to brown and caramelize on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.

Green Beans with Almonds and Caramelized Onions:

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large white onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Add olive oil to pan and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Place onions and sugar in the pan. Stir and allow to caramelize until golden brown. Add green beans, remaining butter and slice almonds. Mix ingredient together. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I cooked them together and it made for a yummy meal! The caramelized onions were fabulous and so were the scallops. Check out my blog for a picture! However, I didn't have almonds so there is not almonds in my picture but I am sure they would've made it even better!
