Savory Scallops

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 4 -5 large scallops
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/2 cup wine
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• salt and pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 thaw the scallops.
• 2 heat your saute pan to medium high with a bit of butter and sear the scallops quickly for perhaps 90 seconds on a side. (if you have a small pan or too many scallops, they will poach in the juices they release, rather than searing. if you are using non-stick cookware, they will not brown so don't overcook them!).
• 3 remove the cooked scallops and set aside.
• 4 turn the heat down to medium and add the minced garlic.
• 5 when it browns and starts to smell nutty, deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce by half (or more for a thicker sauce).
• 6 remove from heat and salt and pepper to your liking.
• 7 add the parsley (or even cilantro), and swirl in the butter.
• 8 pool the sauce on a plate, set the scallops on top of it, and serve with good crusty bread for soaking it up.
