🥂🍤 Creamy Tuscan Garlic Scallops 🍤🥂
Ingredients:
1 lb large sea scallops
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup baby spinach
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooked pasta, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Scallops: Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the Scallops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Add the Parmesan and Spinach: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Add the baby spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until the spinach is wilted.
Combine: Return the seared scallops to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and coated in the sauce.
Serve: Serve the creamy Tuscan garlic scallops over your favorite pasta, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
