Ingredients

  • 1 pound sea scallops, patted dry

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • ¼ cup minced shallots

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Season scallops with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add scallops and sear until browned on the bottom and moisture appears on the top, about 2 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 minutes on the other side.

  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add shallots and garlic; stir until shallots are lightly browned, about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add wine and stir until the liquid starts to reduce, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
