This is my Husband's very favourite appetizer. "Putty in my hands" comes to mind. LOL. A nice showy appetizer for a special occasion. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 8 sea scallops shopping list
- 1 1/4 tbsp. olive oil shopping list
- 1 large shallot, minced shopping list
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (don't use cooking wine as it will be too salty!) shopping list
- 1/3 cup water shopping list
- 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard shopping list
- 2 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into bits shopping list
- fresh ground pepper shopping list
