I wanted to show off the ocean freshness of the scallops I bought on the dock from a local fisherman, so I used basic ingredients to showcase them. With sage and shallots, this is the best cream sauce for scallops I've found. —Joan Churchill, Dover, New Hampshire

Scallops in Sage Cream

Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds sea scallops
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup chopped shallots
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
- Hot cooked pasta, optional
Directions
- Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook scallops in 2 tablespoons oil until firm and opaque, 1-1/2-2 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, saute shallots in remaining 1 tablespoon oil until tender. Add cream; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 30 seconds or until slightly thickened.
- Return scallops to the pan; heat through. Stir in sage. Serve with pasta if desired.
