Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds scallops
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 large garlic cloves minced
  • Salt and fresh ground black peppercorn to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Place scallops in cold water if frozen to thaw. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

  6. Remove pan from the heat; stir in lemon juice and re-introduce the scallops back into the pan, stir and mix well with the sauce.
  7. Garnish with parsley and serve over rice, pasta, garlic bread or your choice of steamed vegetables.
