Servings: 3 people
Calories: 321kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs (750g) sea scallops
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon Japanese mirin sweet rice wine, optional
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Rinse the scallops with cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Remove the side-muscle if you find any still attached. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides of the scallops.
- Heat up a skillet with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pan-seared the scallops until both sides are nicely charred (but inside might not be cooked through). Dish out and set aside. On the same skillet, add the remaining melted butter and saute the garlic until light brown.
- Add the white wine, mirin (if using), lemon juice. Transfer the scallops back into the skillet. Add salt (to taste) and the parsley. As soon as the sauce comes to a light simmer, turn off the heat and serve immediately.
