Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped into small dice
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb scallops (bay scallops or sea scallops)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup half-and-half
4 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 tablespoon fresh chives or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced for garnish

Steps:

  • In a skillet, heat oil over medium high heat, and cook the onions and garlic just to soften (don't let color), for about 2 minutes; add the scallops and lightly cook on one side for about 20 seconds, turn, let cook another 20 seconds, then remove and set aside.
  • Add wine to skillet and let reduce 1 minute; stir in half and half and let that reduce so that it is a nice sauce consistency.
  • Return scallops and add green onions, stirring until heated through.
  • Serve scallops over rice pilaf, if desired, pouring sauce over all; garnish with chives or parsley.
