10-Minute Pan-Seared Scallops with Champagne Sauce
There are two things that I love about these scallops. They are unbelievably quick and easy to prepare and they are absolutely delicious. I can have dozens of them in one sitting if you don't stop me. So please do stop me if I am next to a plate of them. The flavors cut to the chase and hands you the principal tastes of the ingredients. After all, it's a no-fuss 10-minute recipe.
Yesterday had been very hectic, every single item in my to do list having more priority than the other that in the end, the kids, my husband and I arrived home just in time for dinner, tired and ready to retire for the night. At times like this, I usually opt for pizzas to take out and rush home. But a quick trip to the fishmonger yielded some scallops and fish that I was able to throw in the saucepan quickly with wonderful results.

- 8 scallops
- Salt
- Pepper
- Knob of butter
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup Champagne
- 1/2 teaspoon flour
