Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Sea scallops
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, minced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 pieces Lemon, juiced
Instructions
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Season both sides of the scallops with salt and black pepper.
Lightly dust the scallops with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil.
Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the scallops in a single layer, making sure they do not touch.
Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant and softened.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.
Stir in the fresh parsley and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
Return the scallops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the scallops immediately with the pan sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with a crusty baguette or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
