Scallops make me swoon. The only scallops I’ve ever met that I didn’t like are overcooked scallops. There is a fine line between ridiculous (as in you want to lick the plate they’re so good) and rubbery. I love them because they’re sweet, succulent and when you sear them my knees buckle. A little butter, a little olive oil, a simple sprinkling of sea salt and pepper and you’re halfway there. Honestly they would be just fine like this but I am saucy ehem a sauce girl so we press forward. With whiskey. And cream. And butter. Because I love you.
You’re welcome! You can also thank Land O’Lakes. Why? Well because they’ve made things a whole lot easier in the kitchen for those of us that LURVE butter and olive oil. How you ask? They’ve COMBINED butter and olive oil and sea salt. Can you hear the music? Pretty stinking genius if you ask me! Have you tried it? I’m smitten.

the scallops look amazing, saucy girl;)
Teresa says
I have some squash fresh from my garden that would taste great sauteed with onions in the olive oil and a little sea salt. Or I could steam the squash and add Land O’Lakes Butter and sea salt. Yummy!
Marcia says
Well, I’d try the butter/olive oil/sea salt on those scallops for sure! But it would also be great with Chicken Picatta! Yum!

heidi @foodiecrush says
Scallops are an all time favorite of mine and I totally agree with you on the sad events when you take a bite of one that’s overcooked. What a waste. I’ve had scallops with a sauce similar to this one, it sounds sooo good. Will definitely add it to the docket.
Gena@BakeAllTheThings! says
Ohhh I’m on a scallops kick! And they seem like they’d go so well with whiskey! I hate to drink it but I’m loving it in food [and desserts] lately!
Gena@BakeAllTheThings! says
Hmmmm…I’d use it with some garlic and rosemary and maybe a hint of rosemary to make REALLY decadent garlic bread!!
Katie says
I bet it would taste great with some steamed veggies or drizzled over some popcorn with some herbs and an extra sprinkle of sea salt!
MommyNamedApril says
I would make some zucchini noodles and sauté them with the butter and some garlic. Delish!

kazy says
Hi, this looks really good and I don’t know it’s my computer, which I really don’t think it is, but I do not see any ingredients listed for this recipe only the directions on how to cook it. There’s no quantities for how many scallops, how much butter, whiskey, garlic or cream. I linked to the shopping list but only got the computer language coding symbols. Tried to open this page up in Explorer and got a blank. It seems the last comment was made 6 yrs ago, but I sure would love to try this recipe. Thanks.
kazy says
Ignore my last comment. I found the original recipe on Chefs at Messine’s.
JB says
Thank you Kazy. I was just about to post the same thing.
