By IUPUI95

Ingredients

• Sauteed Sea Scallops
• 1 large shallot, minced
• 1/2 tsp fresh thyme or marjoram leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 tbs finely chopped fresh parsley, chervil , or chives, or a combination
• 6 tbs butter
• Salt
• Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1) Wipe out the pan used to saute the scallops with a paper towel to rid it of any burnt oil, add the shallot and thyme, and stir them around in the still-hot pan with a whisk for about 30 seconds, or until the shallot smells toasty (the heat retained in the pan is enough to bring out the flavor of the shallot and thyme).

2) Pour in the wine andd boil it down to about 2 tbs.

3) Whisk in the parsley and the butter.

4) Season with salt and pepper and spoon over the scallops.
