How to Make Bay Scallops With Balsamic And Basil
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
- Add 1 pound bay scallops and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until the scallops are lightly golden brown and opaque.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce and thicken.
- Serve the seared bay scallops immediately over 8 ounces of cooked fine egg noodles or rice. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired.
