Directions:
Rinse the scallops, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper. Heat up a skillet with olive oil and butter. Pan-sear the scallops on both sides until nicely browned, but don't overcook them. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté. Add a little bit olive oil if you want. Add the cream, water, wine, salt and cayenne pepper. Bring it to a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens a bit. Add the scallops back into the skillet, add the chopped parsley leaves and lemon wedges. Turn off heat and serve immediately. Serves 3.
