Description: I found scallops on sale at my grocery store and have been wanting to experiment with a few recipe's. This dish was incredibly easy to make and was ready in under 30 minutes. This can be a nice light dinner, 1st course, or pair it with some pasta and make it a hearty main course.
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh bay or sea scallops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour
1/2 stick unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, cut in 1/2
Directions:
1. If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole.
If you're using sea scallops, cut each 1 in half horizontally.
2. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
3. In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over
high heat until sizzling.4. Add the scallops in 1 layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on 1 side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, tops.
5. Remove the cooked scallops to a paper towel or plate.
6. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes. 7. Add the scallops back into the pan and tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning.
8. Serve right away with a squeeze of lemon juice.
To be honest I don’t like sea food at all and sometimes even images of sea food make me a little sick but this looks very delicious.
