  • 12 pieces Fresh Sea Scallops
  • 1 tablespoon Butter (for frying)

  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups Fresh Corn Kernels (can substitute with frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (or regular paprika)

Instructions 

  • Pat scallops dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

  • In the same pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add corn kernels and cook until tender.
  • Add heavy cream and Parmesan to the corn, simmer until slightly thickened. Blend if desired for a smoother purée.

Ensure scallops are dry before searing for a better crust.
