How to prepare Scallops with Wine

To prepare the scallops with wine, start by washing and drying the mushrooms very well. Chop them finely 1 and brown them in a pan where you have melted the butter, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and crushed garlic (2-3).

Deglaze with white wine 4, add a sprinkle of parsley 5, and add the cream 6, let it cook until it reaches a creamy consistency.

The filling of the scallops with wine should not be too dry 7. Adjust with salt and pepper, if necessary. Now take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper. With strips of aluminum foil, form circles (8-9) that, placed at the base of each shell, will serve as support for the scallops with wine.

Place the scallops on their supports, salt, and pepper them lightly to flavor them 10, proceed by putting the previously prepared filling on the scallops 11, and bake at 392°F for 20 minutes in a static oven. For the last 5 minutes, turn on the grill to get a nice gratin. The scallop tapa with wine is ready to be enjoyed!
