Seared Scallops with Asparagus
Report
Gently seared sea scallops in a lovely white wine butter sauce with asparagus are simply amazing. And easy to make! This is a show-stopper of a meal that comes together in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus ends trimmed
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ lb sea scallops
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup dry white wine
- 2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Saute the asparagus, stirring every now and then, until tender...about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the asparagus to a plate. Don't clean out the skillet.
- Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle with the pepper and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat over medium high heat.
- Saute half of the scallops, flipping once, until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes total.
- Transfer the scallops to another plate, as they are cooked.
- Wipe out skillet, and add the remaining oil, and repeat with the remaining uncooked scallops. Once cooked, transfer to plate (don't wipe out skillet this time).
- Carefully add the wine and vinegar to the skillet and boil, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has reduced to about ¼ cup, about 4 minutes.
- Add any scallop juices that have accumulated on the plate and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in the butter until melted and incorporated.
- Add asparagus and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and cook for about another minute.
- Serve scallops topped with asparagus and sauce.
