Carmalized Scallops - total time 40 minutes

I usually don't cook with scallops (mostly because good scallops are expensive), so when I do use them they are the main flavor of the meal (other strong flavors would dilute the special-ness).  This is a pretty easy way to cook them, it just takes some time to actually cook.

sea scallops

4 tbsp sugar

4 tbsp butter

.5 cup white wine

parsley, chives, salt & pepper

1.  Brown butter in a pan on med heat.

2.  Press scallops into sugar making sure it is coated completely.  Sear each side of scallop in pan for 2 minutes each.  Reduce heat to mid-low, add wine, and cook each side for 10 minutes each.

3.  Pour any excess wine/butter sauce over top of scallops.  Sprinkle parsley, chives, salt, and pepper over top and serve.
