Ingredients
1 lb fresh sea scallops
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups baby spinach
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup dry white wine
Instructions
Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear scallops for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan, then stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese; let simmer until slightly thickened.
Fold in spinach until wilted and return scallops to the skillet to heat through.
Notes
For added flavor, consider incorporating seasonal vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
If you prefer a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
