Seared Scallops with Jalapeno Bacon Cream Sauce

December 18, 2016January 8, 2017Nadia1519 views

Mmm, seared scallops cooked just right makes my mouth water! The jalapeno bacon cream sauce is a spicy addition that just makes this dish so unique! Check out the recipe below!

Seared Scallops with Jalapeno Bacon Cream Sauce

INGREDIENTS:

Serves: 2

  • half a pound of scallops

Cream Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 1 tbsp bacon crumbles
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 roasted jalapenos chopped and muddled
  • 1 cup whole milk

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Dry scallops thoroughly. Put olive oil in a cast iron pan and sear both sides of scallops.
  2. Prepare cream sauce. In a pan, put bacon and roasted jalapenos with olive oil. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add heavy cream, butter, whole milk, and flour to  bacon and jalapeno cream sauce mixture.
  4. Pour cream mixture over finished seared scallops. Sprinkle extra bacon crumbles on top of scallops if desired.

THE PERFECT PAIR:

Scallops, like most fishes, call for white wines. This recipe has a butter base for the cream, so you may want to stay away from Chardonnays. I would go with a drier white to help balance the jalapeno and bacon tastes. Try  Sauvignon Blanc to pair with the seared scallops dish! Check out the Perfect Pair for the full video and wine pairing! Salute!
