Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup whipping cream
4 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons Pernod or other aniseflavored liqueur (optional)
8 large sea scallops, patted dry
1 small head of butter lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté 3 minutes. Add wine; boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream, 3 teaspoons tarragon, and Pernod, if using. Simmer until sauce coats back of spoon, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper; cook until brown and almost cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to plate. Add lettuce to drippings in skillet; toss until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute. Spoon sauce onto 2 plates; divide lettuce between plates. Place 4 scallops on each plate; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon tarragon.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

I found the sauce to be a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try using a lighter cream next time.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was very good. I'll try again and cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.
