Scallops with creamy Girolles

Hello food lovers!

Today we will continue with the celebration meals! We have to get ready for Christmas!! Let’s have scallops with creamy girolles … Yum!!

Choosing scallops is quite obvious for celebration meals. I chose to cook them with girolles as a starter. The combination is just amazing!!

But you can also have it as your main dish. In such case, add 2 or 3 scallops per person and serve rice on the side. It will be great!!

The recipe isn’t that complicated, you just need to have the right cooking method for your scallops, they deserve it. And the rest of the recipe will follow, just take your time and do it step by step!!

As far as organization is concerned, which can be a key point during Christmas season, you can prepare everything in advance. You will just stir fry the scallops a few minutes before serving.

The utensils:

My Staub cast iron pan (diameter 22 cm) for the sauce

My Affinity frying pan by De Buyer

A good knife to clean the scallops.

Shall we make scallops with girolles?

The recipe, Chef!

    Délicieux ! Un repas de fête pris un 4 novembre. Quand on est à la retraite, on se fait plaisir…
    Comme nous sommes gourmands, j’avais 400 g de girolles pour 2, accompagnées de 5 saints Jacques chacun, rien d’autre, c’était bien suffisant pour un super dîner. J’ai conservé les quantités de crème et échalotes, c’était parfait, vite préparé et succulent.
    Merci pour cette recette
