Scallops have a delicate, meaty taste that doesn't need a lot of help, but this light sauce accentuates their flavor without drowning it out.

Ingredients

  • Melted butter, as needed
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 12 jumbo scallops, halved widthwise
  • Sauce:
  • 1 C. water
  • 1/4 lemon, juiced
  • 1 C. Chardonnay
  • 1 Tbs. butter
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 clove garlic, diced
  • Cornstarch, dissolved in water

Directions

In small saucepan, combine water, wine, juice, butter, honey with peppers and garlic. Place over medium heat; reduce to almost half, stirring frequently. Add cornstarch solution to thick to taste. Remove from heat; keep warm. Grill scallops over hot coals, brushing frequently with melted butter. Cook to taste. Remove scallops from grill. Place 6 scallop halves on each plate. Pour citrus sauce over scallops and garnish with parsley.

Yield: 4 servings

  • The directions say combine water, wine, juice, butter, honey with peppers. "peppers" are not listed in the ingredient list. Is this a typo, or is something left out of the list?
