Easy Seared Scallops

  3.0 – 1 reviews  • Scallops

This is my go-to recipe for a quick app that keeps well and is well received. It’s made with canned salmon, cream cheese, and horseradish. On crackers or bagels, it tastes fantastic.

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
  2. ¼ teaspoon salt
  3. ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  7. ½ cup dry white wine
  8. 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season scallops with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add scallops and sear until browned on the bottom and moisture appears on the top, about 2 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 minutes on the other side.

Well this was a bit problematic with the cooking process. By searing the delicate scallops and then basically poaching them in wine ; it erased my sear. Dang it! The quick sauté time of the shallot and onion left them very strong. With some changes this could be very delicious.
