Gourmet Garlic Scallops
INGREDIENTS (PER GLASS):
5 T butter, divided
1 1/2 lb sea scallops, rinsed and drained
Sicilian Sea Salt to Taste
Fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
zest of 1 lemon
2 T fresh tarragon, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
Heat 1 T olive oil and 1/2 T butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper
Place half of the scallops in the skillet without crowding; cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove scallops to a plate and repeat for the other half.
When all of the scallops are cooked, wipe out skillet and return to medium heat. Pour in wine and boil for 1-2 minutes, until reduced to about 2 T. Reduce heat to low and whisk in remaining 4 T butter. Butter should soften to form a smooth sauce. Stir in salt, lemon zest and tarragon.
Pour sauce over scallops and serve on a bed of mashed potatoes.

Made with UP Certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil, our Garlic olive oil is redolent with the pungent flavor of fresh garlic. This versatile, heart healthy oil can be used for sautéing, roasting, grilling, drizzling on salads, vegetables, in marinades and with baked foods. Particularly delightful as a replacement for butter over pasta, baked potatoes, rice, or mashed potatoes. Try drizzling on steaks before grilling, or simply for bread dipping.
