Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the mushrooms. Cook until wilted and add the salt, pepper, and wine. Add the scallops and bring to the boil. Cook until all the scallops are heated through, stirring gently as necessary. Take care not to let the scallops overcook or they will toughen. Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside the scallops and mushrooms. Reserve the liquid. There should be about 3/4 cup of liquid. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. When blended add the reserved liquid, stirring until thickened and smooth. Add the milk and 1 cup of the cream. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of cayenne. Whip the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Fold it into the sauce. Use 6 individual scallop shells or ramekins. Spoon equal portions of the scallops and mushrooms into each shell. Spoon the sauce over the scallop mixture. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the filled shells under the broiler about 6 inches from the source of heat and bake until a nice brown glaze forms on top. As the scallops broil, turn shells occasionally for even browning, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towel. Pour all but 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier® into a glass or ceramic bowl and add scallops; marinate for 1 hour. Reserve remaining 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier®.
- Drain scallops and pat with paper towels until very dry. Let rest at least 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle fois gras slice with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Combine Seville orange marmalade and reserved Grand Marnier® in a small nonstick pot over very low heat until marmalade has thickened and has the consistency of chutney, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it sizzles. Add scallops and pan-fry until well caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip scallops and pan-fry for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
- Meanwhile, quickly sear fois gras in a small nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat on both sides, about 30 to 40 seconds per side; do not overcook! Remove from heat and transfer to a small plate. Cut into 6 equal pieces with a sharp knife.
- To assemble, top each scallop with a slice of fois gras, 1/2 teaspoon marmalade, and a sprig of watercress.
