Scallops are delicate and easy to overcook. The wine sauce adds moisture and flavor, and prevents toughness. Serve with rice, pasta or couscous and a green salad.

Ingredients

  • 15mL olive oil
  • 90g shallots, minced
  • 455g bay scallops
  • 180mL white wine, dry or dry vermouth
  • 15mL lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1mL Tabasco sauce
  • 2g salt
  • 1g black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes until lightly browned. Add scallops; sauté 30 seconds.
  • Add white wine; cover and cook 2–3 minutes until scallops turn opaque. Remove scallops from pan with a slotted spoon, reserving wine mixture in pan.
  • Add lemon juice, hot sauce, salt and pepper to wine mixture, simmer for 2 minutes, until sauce is reduced by about one half.
  • Return scallops to sauce and cook just until heated through.
