Ingredients

0.5 cup chicken broth
0.25 cup white wine
0.5 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 clove garlic, minced
0.25 cup butter
1 pound sea scallops
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven's broiler to high heat.
In a skillet over medium heat, combine the chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, shallot, and garlic. Cook and stir until the liquid has significantly reduced. Then, stir in the butter until it's completely melted and incorporated.
Lightly brush the scallops with olive oil, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange the seasoned scallops on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Broil the scallops in the preheated oven for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn opaque and are cooked through. Serve immediately with the flavorful white wine sauce.
