SCALLOPS IN GARLIC CREAM SAUCE
I didn't really get this recipe from anyone, it's just (for as long as I can remember) one of the basic ways that I have always prepared scallops. It's easy, quick to prepare and the sauce really complements the scallops. I've prepared this with and without the wine (on those rare occasions when I happened to be out of my favorite white wine), and it is just as delicious either way. That's why I listed that ingredient as optional.

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES
In this homage to a classic dish at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York, scallops are quickly poached in a creamy, piquant tomato sauce that's spiked with Worcestershire and celery seed. If you want to work a little ahead, you can make the sauce through Step 2, and leave it in the pan, covered for an hour or two. Reheat it before adding the scallops in Step 3. Then serve the scallops right away, with some bread or rice to soak up every last drop of the herby, savory sauce.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops: Look for scallops that are plump, firm, and have a briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Sear the scallops properly: Searing the scallops in a hot skillet will help to create a golden brown crust and lock in the juices.
- Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
- Make sure the garlic is roasted properly: Roasting the garlic will help to bring out its sweetness and flavor. Roast the garlic until it is golden brown and caramelized.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the sauce. Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Reduce the sauce until it is slightly thickened: Reducing the sauce will help to concentrate the flavors and make it more flavorful.
- Serve the scallops immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Scallops with Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a creamy sauce made with roasted garlic, white wine, and cream. The dish is finished with a sprinkling of fresh herbs and served over pasta or rice. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
