Be sure to pat the scallops with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps create that perfectly browned and flavorful scallop your better half will love. Ingredients:
3/4 pound sea scallops |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon paprika |
3 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons dry sherry or chicken broth |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh oregano |
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon |
Directions:
1. Pat scallops dry with paper towels; sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add scallops; sear for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and firm. Remove from the skillet; keep warm.
2. Wipe skillet clean if necessary. Saute garlic in remaining butter until tender; stir in sherry. Cook until liquid is almost evaporated; stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve with scallops. Yield: 2 servings.
