Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb) scallops Cleaned | If frozen, thawed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
White wine garlic sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced (to taste)
- ½ cup white wine (I used Chardonnay)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
To serve
- Lemon risotto
- crusty bread
Instructions
- Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over high heat.
- Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the scallops to the hot pan (do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan) and allow to panfry for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and seared on both sides.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the pan then add the garlic. Allow to cook for 30 seconds then pour in the white wine, lemon juice and parsley.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer then cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly.
- Add the scallops back into the pan and allow to heat through.
- Serve with sides of your choice.
