These scallops take 5 minutes to make, but the flavor is so rich your guests will think you've been slaving in the kitchen!
Ingredients:
1 lbs fresh or frozen scallops (rinse and dry them completely with a paper towel)
2 whole corns (take the corn off the cob) - or you could also use canned corn (drain out the water)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp Fresh or dry thyme
S+P
Directions:
S+P the scallops on both side.
Place the flour in a bowl and cover the scallops in flour (shake off any excess flour off the scallops)
Prepare a cast iron and put it over high heat. (Splash some water and if its sizzles it's ready)
Add 2 Tbsp of butter and wait for it to melt.
Place the floured scallops and cook each side for about 2 mins.
Turn the scallops over and cook for about 1 min (make sure they have a brown color to them and don't over cook!)
Place the cooked scallops on a plate.
Add the remainder 1 Tbsp of butter, 1/2 heavy cream, 3 chopped garlic cloves, 1/4 Tsp fresh or dry thyme, and S+P to the cast iron and scrape off the pan with a wooden spatula. Simmer for about 1 min.
Add the corn and cook for another 2 min.
Turn heat off and take the cast iron off the burner. Add the scallops on top of the corn and garnish with fresh thyme, dried thyme, or parsley.
Enjoy!
