Instructions

1. Pat dry scallops and prawns using a heavy paper towel, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
2. Heat olive oil in a heavy pan and once hot enough, sear scallops on both sides, around 45 seconds on each side. Remove the scallops from the pan then set it aside.

4. Lower the heat, add butter then gently sauté garlic and shallots.
5. Pour the white wine, let it boil and dissolve the brown bits from searing the seafood, shake the pan as you cook it to emulsify.
