Sauteed Bay Scallops
Ingredients
- 680 g bay scallops
- ground paprika
- 15 ml light olive oil
- 5 g butter see note
- 1 Tbs peeled and minced shallot
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
- 60 ml white wine
- 15 ml lemon juice
Directions
- Rinse the scallops with cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle lightly with the paprika.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Add the scallops to the skillet, a few at a time to avoid crowding, and cook for 1 minute per side, or until golden brown on the outside but still translucent in the middle. Transfer the scallops to a heated platter and cover to keep warm.
- Add the shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook for another 2 minutes. Return the scallops to the skillet and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately.
Variation: You can omit the butter and saute the scallops in oil alone, but the butter gives them a nice golden brown color.
