Scallops Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Roasted Garlic Puree

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft. Once done, blend with heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.

2. 2

   Crispy Fried Prosciutto

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the prosciutto until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Cook the Asparagus

   In the same skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the asparagus until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Searing the Scallops

   Pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat remaining olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

5. 5

   Prepare the Sauce

   In the same pan as the scallops, add lemon juice and tarragon. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Plating

   Serve the scallops on a plate, drizzle with roasted garlic puree, and place crispy prosciutto on top. Add sautéed asparagus and your choice of vegetable and starch on the side.
