Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tbsp shallot, minced
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice or orange juice
1/4 c dry white wine
1/2 c (1 stick), cold unsalted butter, cut into tbsp. pieces
white pepper, to taste
12 large scallops, muscle removed from side if necessary
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. To make Beurre Blanc: Simmer shallot and ginger in lime juice and wine in a small heavy saucepan until liquid is reduced to about 2 tbsp. Whisk in butter 1 tbsp. at a time, adding each new piece before previous one has completely melted and occasionally lifting pan from heat to cool mixture. Sauce must not get too hot or it will separate.
  • 2. Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Return to cleaned pan. Season with white pepper and keep warm while cooking scallops.
  • 3. Pat scallops dry and season with pepper. In a 12" nonstick skillet over medium high, heat oil until hot but not smoking, then sauté scallops, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Drain scallops and spoon beurre blanc on top
