Cajun Scallops

Get ready to spice up your dinner plans with this fantastic scallop recipe. Remember: It's always best to purchase "Dry" Sea Scallops as opposed to "wet" scallops, because a "wet" scallop has been in a bath of chemical plumping agents to make it look larger, and to have fewer scallops make up a full pound. Wet scallops are also far less flavorful than the dry. Don't get ripped off!

• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

• 3/4 pound fresh scallops
