Easy and Elegant Sea Scallops image

I found this recipe on the wrapper of a package of scallops I had just purchased. It sounds really good and something quick to make. I usually only have scallops when people are coming to dinner, and this will make the main course a breeze to prepare.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb sea scallops
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup green onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter together in a skillet. Add mushrooms, onion, pepper, parsley and salt to taste. Saute on medium heat until mushrooms are tender (about 8 minutes). Meanwhile, mince garlic. After mushrooms are tender, add garlic to pan. Cook 2 minutes more.
  • Add scallops and sherry. Cook over a very high heat until sherry is reduced by half, turning scallops once (approximately 2 minutes per side). When finished, the scallops will be covered with an elegant light brown glaze.
