Seared Scallops in White Wine Sauce

Our appetizer! This was sooooo good!

1/2 pound sea scallops

pinch red pepper flakes

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup white wine

juice from 1/2 lemon

chives, minced

S&P

EVOO

1. Heat EVOO and red pepper flakes in a pan over med-high heat (coat the pan with the oil). Season scallops with S&P, sear in pan on both sides until cooked through. Set aside.

2. Reduce heat to med. Add garlic to pan, cook for 1 min. Deglaze pan with white wine (add wine, it will steam and bubble, use a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits while this happens). Let wine reduce a bit (about 2 min). 

3. Add lemon juice, chives, S&P. Pour over scallops and enjoy (we dipped fresh bread into the sauce too!!)
