    Seared Scallops in Sage Cream Recipe


    1 1/2 pound sea scallops
    1/4 salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons butter
    1/2 cup finely diced carrots

    1/2 cup finely diced onions
    1/2 cup chopped shallots
    3/4 heavy cream

    Recipe




    How to make seared scallops in sage cream:

    Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

    Heat the oil and the butter in the skillet.

    Add the carrots, celery, and onions to the skillet, lower the heat to medium-low, and sauté the mirepoix for five minutes, until the vegetables turn tender.

    Transfer the sautéed mirepoix to a plate and cover it with foil.

    Turn up the heat to medium-high.

    Season the scallops with salt and black pepper and sauté them in the skillet for 1 1/2 minutes on each side.

    Transfer the pan-seared scallops to a plate and cover them with foil.

    Sauté the shallots in the skillet for 4 minutes; add 1 teaspoon of butter, if needed.

    Add the heavy cream to the shallots and bring the sauce to a boil for 1 minute.

    Remove the cream sauce from the heat and stir in the sage leaves.

    Drizzle the sage cream on a warm serving plate, spoon a small mound of mirepoix onto the center of the plate, and arrange a few scallops on top of the mirepoix.
