Happy Monday before Thanksgiving, friends! I can't believe I just said that. Seriously, where has the time gone. I somehow cannot figure it out. Enough with that! Let's get to the good stuff, like these Lemon Garlic Scallops with Black Truffle Sea Salt. Say what? They are the best and so flavorful with the help of a few ingredients!
Before we continue, I'm going to make a confession. I haven't always loved scallops or loved cooking them because well, they are scary at first. We'll elaborate on the cooking scary. You have to pay attention while you are searing your scallops because they only NEED 1-2 minutes per side. I'm a busy cook and always multitasking, so it's hard for me to pay that much attention to something at once time. So to avoid that, you must have your side dishes and everything else you are serving the scallops with already done and setting aside. It won't get cold because like I said, they only need 1-2 minutes per side. As long as you pay attention to your scallops, it's not as scary at most people make it be.
The two ingredients that make these scallops shine are Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Black Truffle Sea Salt. I'm sure you were able to guess the second part, hence the title! If you do not have black truffle sea salt, it's okay, and you can still make this. Although, I highly recommend having it because it takes a boring dish to a gourmet, show-stopping dish in a matter of seconds. It's the best stuff ever, and I loved working with it in these scallops.
My shopping experience on Dean & DeLuca was a breeze. Everything was laid out into the perfect categories (no guessing game here!). I also loved each product had a description.
