How To Make scallops with smoky creamed corn sauce
-
1Remove the kernels by cutting down the cob and set aside; discard cobs.
-
2In a saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and clarified butter. When hot, add shallots and sauté them for 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
-
3Add kernels and stir well to coat. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth and mix; season with salt, white pepper and raw sugar. Stir once again, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
4Meanwhile, season scallops lightly with ground sea salt and white pepper; set aside.
-
5When time is up, using an immersion blender, process until the corn mixture is smooth. Stir in smoked paprika; taste and adjust if necessary. Keep the mixture warm until ready to serve.
-
6In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and when it starts shimmering, place the scallops, seasoned side down. Season the top with salt and white pepper.
-
7Cook them until golden brown, about 1 to 1 ½ minutes per side. Spoon the sauce on serving plates and place the scallops on top; garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
