Ingredients 16 large scallops, fresh or frozen 250 ml champagne 150 g unsalted butter, cubed and chilled 1 shallot, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 60 ml white wine vinegar Salt and pepper to taste Fresh chives, chopped for garnish Instructions: If using frozen scallops, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Pat dry the scallops with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a saucepan, combine the champagne, shallot, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the chilled butter, one cube at a time, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Be sure to whisk constantly to prevent the sauce from breaking. Stir in the white wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the sauce warm over low heat, stirring occasionally. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and carefully place the scallops in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are seared golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove the scallops from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Spoon the champagne beurre blanc sauce generously over the seared scallops. Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the luxurious delights of seared scallops with champagne beurre blanc!
