Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon shallots, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika plus more for garnish
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 lb Frozen scallops in shell (about 3-4 cups of pink swimming scallops)
- 1 cup gruyere cheese, grated
Instructions
- In a pot, soften the shallots in the butter.
- Add the flour and paprika and cook for a minute or two, stirring constantly.
- Add the milk, whisk and bring to a boil while continually whisking. Cook on medium low for a couple of minutes, stirring to prevent scorching, until thickened. Turn heat to lowest setting.
- Add grated cheese, parsley and wine (or lemon juice and water if omitting the wine).
- Stir occasionally until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up) and spread scallops out in an even single layer. Put scallops in oven for 2-3 minutes.
- Once most scallops have opened, remove from oven, wait a moment until cool enough to handle and pop the top shell off each scallop. Leave scallop on it's bottom shell on the baking pan.
- Spoon the filling onto each scallop until shell is full.
- Broil for 2-4 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve while hot, garnishing with chopped parsley, a sprinkling of paprika or lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Add wine (or lemon juice) AFTER the sauce has thickened and when you are adding the cheese. Adding the acid (wine or lemon) to the mixture at the same time as the milk will result in a separated (lumpy) sauce.
- Prefer to serve in ramekins? Scoop the scallops out of the shell when opening them and put them into 4 small oven safe ramekins. Top with the sauce and cheese and broil. The larger mass will require slightly more time under the broiler, about 3-5 minutes.
