How to Make Scallops And Mushrooms In A Creamy Sauce

  1. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  6. Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, until sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Return the scallops to the skillet. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter.
  8. Cook for 1 minute, until heated through. Do not overcook.
  9. Serve immediately over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
