1. Scallops with Sauternes

Serves 4 people

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 3 minutes

Ingredients : 

- 12 scallops with their corals
- 2 shallots
- 20 cl Sauternes
- 25 cl single cream
- 100g butter
- salt and pepper

Préparation :

Wash and dry your scallops. Steam for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on size, but no more or they will become tough. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, prepare your sauce: chop the shallots finely and fry gently in a pan. Add the Sauternes and let it reduce by half on a high heat. Add the single cream and let it reduce by a third.

Remove the pan from the heat and incorporate the butter little by little. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the scallops and dress them, with the coral on a plate with the sauce.
