This simple scallop dish makes for an easy, yet elegant, weeknight dinner. If you don't have shallots on hand, substitute the white portion of a green onion for a similar flavor. Serve scallops on top of either pasta or mixed greens for quick, healthy meal. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 teaspoons butter |
3 tablespoons minced shallots |
1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley |
lemon wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle sea scallops with salt and pepper. Add scallops to pan, and sauté 2 minutes on each side. Remove scallops from pan, and keep warm.
2. Melt butter in pan. Add shallots and garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add wine and juice; cook 1 minute. Return scallops to pan; toss to coat. Remove from heat; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
