How to Make Creamy Scrumptious Scallops
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and opaque. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Transfer the seared scallops to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the softened cream cheese and Dijon mustard. Whisk constantly until smooth and melted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and bring to a simmer.
- Add the white wine, stirring until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the cooked scallops to the pan and gently stir to coat them in the sauce. Heat through for about 1 minute. Do not overcook!
- Remove the pan from the heat immediately.
- Place the lettuce leaves (if using) on small plates or scallop-shaped dishes.
- Arrange the scallops on top of the lettuce.
- Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the scallops.
- Pour the creamy sauce generously over the scallops and garnish with the sliced strawberries.
