Scallop Grenobloise

Pairing: Seared scallops or light seafood dishes

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Sea Scallops (12 oz): The star ingredient, known for their sweet flavor and tender texture.
  • Olive Oil (2 tbsp): Provides fat for cooking and adds richness.
  • Butter (2 tbsp): Enhances flavor and helps achieve a beautiful sear.
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Adds aromatic depth.
  • Lemon Juice (1 tbsp): Brightens the dish and balances the richness.
  • Fresh Herbs (parsley or chives): Garnish for freshness and color.
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning and enhancing flavors.

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heating the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Searing the Scallops: Carefully add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve a golden crust.
  4. Flipping: Flip the scallops gently using tongs. Add butter and garlic to the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting the scallops with melted butter.
  5. Finishing Touch: Squeeze lemon juice over the scallops and sprinkle with fresh herbs just before serving.
  6. Serving: Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a light salad or vegetable medley.
