INGREDIENTS

  • Seafood

    • 6 sea scallops

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 🧂 Ground black pepper to taste
    • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  • Oils and Fats

    • ½ tablespoon olive oil
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter

  • Aromatics

    • 🧄 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
    • 🥬 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion tops

  • Liquids

    • ¼ cup dry white wine
    • 🍋 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • Herbs

    • ½ teaspoon dried parsley

STEPS

1

Fill a medium pot with warm water. Attach the sous vide and set the temperature to 123°F (51°C) to preheat.

2

Remove tough muscles from sides of scallops, if present, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Transfer scallops to a resealable plastic bag and remove all the air using the water immersion method.

3

Place scallops into the preheated pot of water and sous vide for 30 minutes.

4

Remove scallops from the bag and pat dry thoroughly to ensure proper searing later.

5

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear scallops in hot oil for about 2 minutes on the first side, then turn and cook an additional 1 minute on the second side. Remove scallops to a warmed dish.

6

Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with white wine and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits. Add parsley and Cajun seasoning and simmer sauce for 2 minutes. Stir butter in until just melted.

7

Spoon the sauce over the scallops and sprinkle with green onion tops. Serve immediately.
