Ingredients

• ¾ cup butter
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup white wine
• ¼ cup white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon shallots
• 24 sea scallops

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven on broiler setting.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine white wine, wine vinegar, and shallots. Cook until liquid is almost evaporated, approximately 1 tablespoon left. Stir in heavy cream and let boil down until reduced by half. Stir in butter 1 tablespoon at a time, allowing each to melt before adding the next. Keep warm while preparing the scallops.

Step 3

Brush scallops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place under preheated broiler for 2 minutes on each side, until scallops are opaque, with a bit of brown around the edges. Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and top with 4 scallops.
