Categories     Sauce     Side     Scallop     Tarragon     Boil     Butter

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds large sea scallops, tough ligament from side of each discarded
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Pat the scallops dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides, then sear the scallops, turning once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.
  • Add the shallot, wine, and vinegar to the skillet and boil, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Add the juices from the platter and if necessary boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Reduce the heat to low and add 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until almost melted, then add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and swirl until incorporated and sauce has a creamy consistency. Stir in the tarragon and salt to taste; pour sauce over scallops.

This recipe was easy to follow and the scallops turned out great. The sauce was a bit too rich for my taste, but I'll definitely be making this again with a lighter sauce.
