1
Make the Citrus Beurre Blanc
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blood orange juice, white wine, and shallots. Reduce the mixture until it is about 1/4 cup. Lower the heat and whisk in the cold cubed butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Keep warm.
2
Cook the Scallops
Pat the diver sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
3
Plate the Dish
On a serving plate, drizzle some of the citrus beurre blanc sauce. Arrange the seared scallops on top, and drizzle additional sauce over the scallops. Serve immediately.
