I didn't want to hide the ocean freshness of the scallops I bought on the dock from a local fisherman, so I used simple but perfect ingredients to showcase them. Ingredients:
3/4 pound sea scallops |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1/4 cup chopped shallot |
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream |
3 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced |
hot cooked pasta, optional |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, saute scallops in 1 tablespoon oil for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until firm and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, saute shallots in remaining oil until tender. Add cream; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 30 seconds or until slightly thickened.
3. Return scallops to the pan; heat through. Stir in sage. Serve with pasta if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
