Steps:
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the shallots for 4 minutes. Add the wine and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Cook liquid until it starts to thicken. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 8 minutes. Stir in the parsley, salt, pepper and scallops. Simmer the scallops for about two minutes or until they are a milky white. Serve over rice.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell.
- If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops will also work. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Sear the scallops over high heat to get a nice golden crust. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the scallops. This will cause them to steam instead of sear.
- The white wine sauce is a great way to add flavor to the scallops. Use a dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
- Serve the scallops immediately with the white wine sauce. They can be served over rice, pasta, or vegetables.
