Ingredients

  • 1 pound large sea scallops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Мethod of preparation

Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sea scallops and sear them until they are golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the saffron threads, allowing the wine to reduce by half and the saffron's color and flavor to infuse into the sauce, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the whipping cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Return the scallops to the skillet, coating them in the saffron sauce. Cook for an additional minute or until the scallops are heated through.

Plate the scallops and sauce, garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
