Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 shallot, minced
1 teaspoon whipping cream
9 tablespoons cold butter, divided
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
12 sea scallops
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 tablespoon chopped inner celery leaves, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring wine, orange juice, and shallot to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until about 2 tablespoons of liquid remains, about 10 minutes. Add cream; simmer until mixture is almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Whisk in 8 tablespoons cold butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Remove from heat. Strain and discard shallot, then whisk in vanilla.
  • Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook, turning once, until browned and opaque, 3 to 5 minutes total. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Top scallops with the orange sauce, orange sections, and celery leaves.

This dish was a disappointment. The scallops were tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be more careful with the cooking time.

The orange and vanilla flavors were a bit too strong for me. I think I would have preferred a more classic beurre blanc sauce.
