Instructions

  1. Pat scallops very dry with paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Add scallops in a single layer (don’t crowd). Sear 2–3 minutes without moving until golden.
  4. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more, just until opaque. Transfer scallops to a plate.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to the skillet.
  6. Add chopped shallot and cook 1 minute, until softened.
  7. Add sliced mushrooms and cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and begin to brown.
  8. Pour in broth and scrape up any browned bits to deglaze the pan.
  9. Stir in heavy cream and simmer 2–3 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  10. Return scallops to the skillet, spoon sauce over top, warm 1 minute, garnish with parsley, and serve.
