DEANO'S SCALLOPS

Deano’s Scallops

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

4-5 shallots, finely diced

6 cloves of garlic, finely minced

1 lb. large scallops

¼ cup of white wine

½ cup cream or substitute with half & half

5 green onions, sliced at an angle (If you don’t have any don’t worry, it’s more for color)

1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped (Optional as a garnish)

Directions:

Turn on heat to medium high. Add olive oil to pan. Sauté shallots and garlic for 2 minutes.  Add scallops, cook on one side for 40 seconds and then flip and cook another 40 seconds. (This is seconds, not minutes, you don’t want to overcook the scallops, otherwise they become tough.) Remove scallops from pan. Put them in small bowl since you will be returning them to the pan in a few minutes. Turn heat up to high and add white wine to pan. Reduce liquid for one minute. Lower heat to medium and add cream. Let this reduce down until it is thick & saucy. Add scallops back to pan, add green onions and gently toss in sauce for about 2 minutes.  Place scallops on plate and serve.

Serves about 4 people.
