Seared Scallops With Beurre Blanc Sauce

Why does summer make us crave scallops and why does the thought seem intimidating? Well… we promise it’s not as dreadful as you think. In fact, it’s quite simple and they’re low-maintenance compared to crab and lobster. The mild flavor and the sweet caramelized crust from the searing of the hot pan makes us want to cook up these bad boys right now!

When you got the market to buy your scallops – make sure you buy “dry” vs. wet. The color differs a bit from wet scallops, but overall, the flavor is pure. Don’t overthink this. We made it easy for you. You got this!
