Seared Scallops In A Cajun Mustard Cream Sauce

Prep Time:5 minutes Cook Time:10 minutes Total Time:15 minutes Servings: 4

ingredients

• 1 pound sea scallops (about 1 inch thick)


• 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
  


• 1/2 tablespoon butter


• 1/2 tablespoon oil


• 1 clove garlic, chopped


• 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream


• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard


• 2 teaspoons cajun mustard (or grainy mustard)


• 1 tablespoon lemon juice


• salt and pepper to taste


• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

directions

Pat the scallops dry and press on the cajun seasoning.

Option: Replace the butter and oil with bacon grease or better yet, start by cooking 4 strips bacon, use the grease to cook the scallops in and sprinkle the crumbled bacon onto the scallops just before serving!
Option: Add 1/4 cup chicken broth or seafood broth or white wine to the pan before adding the cream and deglaze the plan by scrapping all of the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon while the broth simmers.
Option: Add 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese to the sauce!
