Scallops are a fantastic date night meal: they’re light, they’re tasty, and surprisingly easy to cook in Suvie! Many people are intimidated by seafood because when it’s overcooked, it’s basically inedible. Luckily, there’s no need for fear with Suvie as our sous vide technology ensures perfectly cooked scallops every time. A tasty, lemon-garlic-butter sauce tossed with linguine is all you need to complete this dish.
Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce
Ingredients

- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup white wine
- 2 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 small baguette, optional
Directions
1) Season 1 lb scallops with salt and pepper. Place scallops and 1 tbsp olive oil in a vacuum bag and seal. Place in Suvie pan and fill with enough water to cover the bag. Place pan in the bottom zone of Suvie. Input settings and cook now or schedule

3) Just before the cook finishes, prepare the sauce. Heat 3 tbsp butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp salt. Saute for 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 cup white wine. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes.
4) After the cook remove pans from Suvie. Immediately toss pasta with sauce in a large bowl. Drain water from scallops and pat them dry.
5) Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining tbsp of butter in it over high heat. Sear the scallops on high until browned, about 30 seconds a side. To serve, divide the pasta between plates, top with scallops, then sprinkle Parmesan and parsley to garnish. Serve with bread on the side.

what can I use instead of plastic bags.
Hi Jocelyn, you can also purchase reusable food-safe silicone bags that are sealable so you can still squeeze all of the air out to prevent them from floating.
