Scallops in Pernod and Cream image

This is a delicious dish. My father made it for me and gave me the recipe several years ago. I'm afraid I'm not sure where he got the recipe, but I believe it was from a chef at an inn in Maine. Like most absolutely fabulous dishes, this is not low fat but definitely worth the indulgence! This is really nice with a long grain rice and wild rice mixture or with nice crusty bread to sop up the sauce. Can be served as an appetizer or a main course.

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 large sea scallops
salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup clarified butter
1/4 cup Pernod
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Season scallops with salt and pepper. Flour them heavily, patting away the excess.
  • Saute scallops in clarified butter until golden brown.
  • Add pernod carefully and flambe. Once flame has gone out add cream.
  • Reduce heat and cook until cream thickens and bubbles glisten.
  • Stir in chives and serve immediately.
  • Note: You may have to remove smaller/thinner scallops to a warm plate while cream sauce thickens, then return them to the pan once sauce has reached desired consistency.

This was a great recipe! The scallops were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. I served it over rice, and it was a hit with my family.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as thick as I would have liked. Maybe I'll try reducing it a bit more next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it with a lighter sauce next time.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try it again with shrimp next time.

I've never cooked with Pernod before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It added a wonderful anise flavor to the sauce. The scallops were cooked perfectly, and the whole dish was just delicious.

This dish was a delight to make and even better to eat. The scallops were plump and juicy, and the Pernod and cream sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over angel hair pasta, and it was a perfect combination. I will definitely be making this ag
