Seared Scallops with Creamy Lemon-Caper Sauce
Ingredients:
- 12 large scallops, patted dry
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
Use salt and pepper to season the scallops
Put olive oil in a big skillet and heat it over medium-high heat
Sear the scallops for two to three minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked all the way through
Take it out of the pan and set it aside
Put minced garlic in the same pan and cook for one minute, until it smells good
Add chicken or vegetable broth and scrape the pans bottom to get rid of any browned bits
Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the lemon juice, heavy cream, and capers
Soak for two to three minutes, until the sauce gets a little thicker
Put the scallops back in the pan and gently toss them around to coat them with the sauce
Put small pieces of chopped parsley on top of the scallops and sauce
Serve right away, and if you want, top with more lemon slices
