Ingredients

• 12 count large sea scallops
• 2 cups shiitake mushrooms
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 count garlic cloves
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Trim and clean the shiitake mushrooms. Slice them into even pieces and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot and the butter is melted, place the scallops into the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and prosciutto slices. Cook until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the prosciutto and crumble it when cool.

Step 6

Add the remaining butter to the skillet along with minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the sliced shiitake mushrooms.

Step 7

Cook mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Return the scallops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.

Step 11

Serve the dish hot, garnished with crumbled prosciutto and optional parsley for freshness.
