A delightful dish with succulent scallops in a rich, creamy garlic sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound scallops
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Prepare the scallops: Pat the scallops dry with paper towels.
  3. Sear the scallops: Add the scallops in a single layer and sear until golden, about 2-3 minutes each side.
  4. Transfer the scallops to a plate and set aside.
  5. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. Create the creamy sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese, then whisk until thickened.
  7. Add the veggies: Toss in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Combine and serve: Add the scallops back into the sauce and serve over pasta if desired.

Notes

For the best scallops, avoid freezing them beforehand. Consider adding lemon juice for brightness or experimenting with fresh herbs.
