An exquisite dish combining delicate scallops with a rich and creamy garlic sauce, enhanced by spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

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, grated
  • 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 to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per 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 and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
  6. Create the creamy sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, adding garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese, whisking until thickened.
  7. Add the veggies: Toss in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
  8. Combine and serve: Add the scallops back into the sauce and gently coat them. Serve over pasta if desired.

Notes

For additional creaminess, substitute half of the heavy cream with cream cheese. Avoid overcrowding the skillet while searing the scallops.
