Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Choose high-quality scallops: Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Sear the scallops properly: To get a nice sear on your scallops, make sure your skillet is hot before adding them. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are a delicate seafood, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked scallops will become tough and rubbery.
- Make the roasted garlic cream sauce ahead of time: This sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. Simply store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
- Serve the scallops immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help them stay tender and juicy.
