How to Make Scallops In Garlic Cream Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 scallions (thinly sliced), 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Add 1 pound of sea scallops to the skillet.
  5. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
  6. Remove the lid and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  7. Continue heating gently, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
  8. Serve immediately, spooning extra sauce over the scallops for an extra touch of richness.
