Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the ingredients

Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. Mince the garlic and shallot. Grate the Parmesan cheese. Chop the parsley leaves.

2
Season the scallops

Season both sides of the scallops with salt and black pepper.

3
Sear the scallops

Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.

4
Sauté the aromatics

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and shallot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

5
Deglaze the pan

Pour the white wine into the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half.

6
Add the cream

Stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

7
Add the Parmesan cheese

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

8
Return the scallops to the skillet

Return the seared scallops to the skillet. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the scallops are heated through and coated with the sauce.

9
Add the parsley

Stir in the chopped parsley leaves.
