Coquilles Saint-Jacques
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup diced shallots
½ pound white button mushrooms,
sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to
taste
1 cup white wine
1 pound sea scallops
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to
taste
4 large oven-safe scallop shells
¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 pinch paprika
8 fresh tarragon leaves
Directions
Gather all ingredients.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium
heat; add shallots and sauté until translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in
mushrooms, salt, and black pepper; increase heat to medium-high and cook,
stirring often, until mushrooms are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pour wine
into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off
the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; bring to a simmer.
Gently place scallops into wine and poach
in the mushroom mixture until barely firm, about 2 minutes per side; transfer
scallops to a bowl. Strain mushroom mixture into another bowl, reserving
mushrooms and cooking liquid separately.
Return strained liquid to skillet, pour in
any accumulated juices from scallops, and stir in cream. Bring to a boil and
cook, stirring often, until cream sauce is reduced by about half, about 10
minutes. Turn off heat and let mixture cool for 1 minute.
