Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lb medium sea scallops (24 to 28), tough muscle removed from sides if necessary
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1 1/2 tbsp minced shallot
1 1/2 tbsp white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp dry white wine
1 tbsp cold water
9 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into tbsp pieces
1 1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh tarragon

Directions:

Marinate scallops in vermouth 15 minutes.
Make beurre blanc: Simmer shallot in vinegar and wine in a small heavy saucepan until liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Remove from heat and add water. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking in 6 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each new piece before previous one has melted completely and occasionally lifting pan from heat to cool mixture. (Sauce must not get hot enough to liquefy; it should be the consistency of a thin hollandaise.) Remove from heat and whisk in tarragon and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm off heat, covered.
Cook scallops: Drain scallops and pat dry between paper towels. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of remaining butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. While butter is heating, season half of scallops with salt and pepper. Sauté scallops, turning once, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Wipe out skillet and sauté remaining scallops in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in same manner.
Serve scallops with beurre blanc.
