 Brown Butter Sea Scallops

Provincial Style

 
  • This is a take on a classic recipe that that deserves to be made more often. It's very easy to cook and great over some fresh linguine.
  • .The key is to use very fresh "dry pack" sea scallops and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh dry scallops
  • 1/2 cup fresh shallots, diced
  • 1/3 cup flat parsley, coarsely chopped
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon herbed salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper  
Directions
  • In a bowl, salt and pepper the scallops then roll in flour. Heat 2 tablespoons butter until dark brown but not burned. Add scallops, one at a time, cook until browned about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove scallops from pan.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, parsley, garlic and remaining flour from bowl. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and stir to deglaze the pan.
  • Plate the scallops and pour sauce over them. Garnish with some fresh parsley and serve.
  • Serves 2 people. Enjoy!
