Sous Vide Scallops with Garlic and Lemon Butter

  4.4 – 5 reviews  • Scallops

Tossing your wings in this sauce is a terrific idea. Although the honey lessens the heat a little, be advised that this sauce contains a lot of fire. My absolute favorite wing sauce recipe is this one. After cooking, coat the wings with sauce or brush them on.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  1. 6 sea scallops
  2. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  3. ½ tablespoon olive oil
  4. 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
  5. ¼ cup dry white wine
  6. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  7. ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  8. 1 pinch Cajun seasoning
  9. 2 tablespoons butter
  10. 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion tops

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot with warm water. Attach the sous vide and set the temperature to 123 degrees F (51 degrees C) to preheat.
  2. Remove tough muscle from sides of scallops, if present, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Transfer scallops to a resealable plastic bag and remove all the air using the water immersion method.
  3. Place scallops into the preheated water in the pot and cook for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove scallops from the bag and pat dry thoroughly; if scallops are wet, they will not sear well.
  5. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear scallops in hot oil until bottoms are lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook for 1 more minute. Remove scallops from the skillet to a warmed dish.
  6. Add garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the skillet with white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits. Mix in parsley and Cajun seasoning; simmer sauce for 2 minutes. Stir in butter until just melted.
  7. Spoon sauce over scallops; sprinkle with green onion tops to serve.

I only cooked them in the pot until the scallops turned white and then seared them the rest of way in a pan on the stove. I don’t like overcooked scallops myself and I’m used to searing them in a pan. Other than that, the flavors were great, and I would do this again using same ingredients.

Served these with homemade fettucine. Fantastic! I did make extra of the garlic and lemon butter sauce.

Scallops came out fine, but more overdone than when I sear them on the stove.
Dustin Evans
This has a great flavor! I served it with a grain bowl and seared kale. The mixture of flavors was terrific.

Sous vide is the perfect way to prepare scallops. Never raw in the center and never rubbery.
