How to Make Bay Scallops In Wine

  1. Dredge 1 pound bay scallops in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove scallops from pan and set aside.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio), 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by about 1/3.
  5. Return the scallops to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, just to heat through, being careful not to overcook.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with extra fresh parsley, if desired.
