This is a wonderful recipe I got from the grocery store. My husband like it and he doesn't even like asparagus!
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1" pieces on the diagonal shopping list
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided) shopping list
- 1 lb Colossal sea scallops, rinsed and dried shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/3 cup Sauvignon Blanc shopping list
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese shopping list
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped shopping list
- 2 tablespoons garlic & herb Butter shopping list
- zest of 1/2 lemon shopping list
How to make it
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil until hot and saute the asparagus until tender stirring occasionally for about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and return pan to the stove.
- Sprinkle scallops with pepper and salt. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Saute scallops until brown on both sides and cooked all the way through( about 4 to 6 minutes) and remove to clean plate.
- Return skillet to stove and add Sauvignon Blanc and bring to a boil. Deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Boil until reduced to about 2 tablespoons.

i just found this amazing recipe. I can't wait to see how the texture changes with the marscarpone; it's intriguing to say the least. Thanks so much. I guess it has been too long for the rating of 5 to mean anything, but I'm going to give it one anyw...more
