Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) jumbo natural scallops
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons white wine or Japanese cooking sake, optional
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon parsley leaves chopped
- 1 lice Lemon wedges quartered, for garnishing, optional
Instructions
- Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a skillet with olive oil and butter. Pan-sear the scallops on both sides until nicely browned, being careful not to overcook them. Remove and set aside.
- On the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté. Add a little olive oil if desired. Then, add the cream, water, wine, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the scallops back into the skillet, along with the chopped parsley leaves and lemon wedges. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Buy only natural scallops (untreated with water) for this recipe. Natural scallops are creamy in color, opaque, not transparent looking,and slippery when touched. You can get natural scallops at Whole Foods or Costco, or seafood stores.
