Recipe View Serve the broiled scallops immediately, spooning the white wine sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Ensure your scallops are very dry before searing/broiling to achieve a beautiful crust.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sauce. If necessary, use a larger skillet.
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the sauce at the end, but this is optional.
Serve immediately over pasta or polenta.
