CREAMY GARLIC SCALLOPS
Steps:
- If scallops are frozen, thaw in cold water. Remote the side muscle from the scallops if attached. Thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling. Add the scallops in a single layer without over crowding the pan (work in batches if needed).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and fry for 2-3 minutes on one side (until a golden crust forms underneath) and then flip and fly again for 2 minutes until crisp, lightly browned and cooked through (opaque). Remove from skillet and transfer to a plate with a paper towel
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits left over from the scallops. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant (1 minute).
- Pour in the wine (or broth) and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes or until the wine reduces by about half. Add cream and allow to simmer until slightly thickened.
- Remove pan (skillet) from the heat; stir in lemon juice and add the scallops back to the pan to warm thorough slightly and garnish with parsley.
- *Optional* Serve over Rice, pasta, garlic bread or steamed veg. Also good just on its own!
