Recipe: Seared Scallops with Brown Butter and Cracked Black Pepper

“Once you have mastered a technique, you hardly need look at a recipe again and can take off on your own.” - Julia Child

Scallops are something that is easily paired with so many things: mushroom risotto, sautéed greens, or a light arugula salad. Mastering the art of a perfectly seared scallop takes time. Personally, I love using an Irish butter to get the perfect golden crust on my scallop and cracked black pepper is the perfect addition. The simplicity of this dish is lovely, and it’s the perfect reason why this item is so versatile with any side dish you desire.

Pan Seared Scallops

What You’ll Need:

• 12 scallops

• 1/2 tbsp salted buter

• cracked black pepper

---

Instructions:

STEP 1: Rinse scallops off throughly under cold water, then pat dry, removing any excess moisture

STEP 2: Add butter to a 12-inch cast iron over high heat

STEP 3: Once the pan is hot, gradually add in the scallops, and add fresh cracked black pepper on top

STEP 4: Sear scallops for 2 minutes on each side, or once a nice golden crust forms, you’ll want to ensure each piece has a translucent center

STEP 5: Serve and enjoy!

Dining In + Spotify Playlist

“Eating is so intimate. It's very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you're inviting a person into your life.” - Maya Angelou

I’m often asked what meals I cook in a week, and to be truthfully honest it varies. There are some weeks where I cook my normal dishes - staples meals that are super quick to whip up on whim. Then, there are other times where I love experimenting with new flavors and trying different things. The kitchen is such a cool place to be, and it’s so much fun breaking out of my normal routine to create a delicious meal.

Normally, each week I set out a menu of what what is on the docket, and it really helps us stick to a meal plan. Also, setting a weekly is vital to not overspending or wasting a bunch of food! I love switching up the weekly menu, and having some diverse dishes - it makes mealtime really enjoyable.

Today, I am sharing a few dishes that I’ve cooked in the past few weeks. This post is accompanied by the perfect kitchen playlist, full of some of my favorite food related throwbacks. Enjoy!

Lemon Garlic Parmesan Wings + Sauvignon Blanc Pairing

“The combination of olive oil, garlic and lemon juice lifts the spirits …” - Yotam Ottolenghi

Wings are a staple in my house, and one of the things my husband and I really enjoy making together. This recipe has been a hit lately, and it was created on whim one afternoon.

I was inspired to pair this dish with a Sauvignon Blanc that blew me away at Linden Vineyards - a Virginia winery. The acidity and fresh notes on the wine paired perfectly next to the smoked chicken with lemon and garlic notes.

Please, continue to read more on how this perfect pair came to be.

Lemon Garlic Parmesan Wings

Garlic and lemon paired together are a powerful combination, but sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese on top, and it is truly next level. These smoked chicken wings are literally a dream, and the flavor complexity alone is a total knockout.

The wings were marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning overnight. Then, the next day they were smoked for about 45 minutes on the grill. Once, they were removed from the grill, lemon pepper and garlic herb seasoning were sprinkled on top of the wings, as well as freshly grated parmesan cheese - pure perfection.

I absolutely love the flavor profile on these wings, the herbs and lemon, paired with a mild cheese is delicious. These wings are definitely a twist on the classic lemon pepper wings that are so extremely popular.

Linden 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

Linden 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc from Linden Vineyards is comprised of the following grapes:

• 88% Sauvignon Blanc

• 12% Semillon

This wine is so lovely, and as the winemaker noted during our visit to Linden, it has elements of oyster shell and lemon rind. Upon tasting it you’ll find crisp, mineral, salinity, and citrus notes. It’s light refreshing and clean. On the nose you’ll get a subtle bouquet note as well. This wine is incredibly balanced and the acidity in the wine works beautifully with each sip.

The Sauvignon Blanc is light and fresh. It would pair perfectly with fresh herbs, fish, grilled chicken, salad with goat cheese, oysters, and of course shrimp. I absolutely love how versatile this wine is. You can most certainly drink this by itself or pair it with a dish.
