Pan-Seared Scallops with Creamy Butter Sauce
“Perfectly golden scallops with a rich, buttery sauce—elegance in every bite!”
Ingredients:
For the Scallops:
500g fresh sea scallops (cleaned and patted dry)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Butter Sauce:
3 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon (juiced)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Scallops:
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Sear the Scallops:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the scallops in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine and Garnish:
Return the seared scallops to the skillet, spooning the butter sauce over them. Cook for an additional 1 minute to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve:
Serve the scallops immediately, paired with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the luscious sauce.
These pan-seared scallops with creamy butter sauce are a restaurant-quality dish you can easily make at home. Simple, luxurious, and unforgettable!
