Scallops & Mushrooms in Sour Cream

Submitted by Tisme

"Served on a bed of rice and or accompanied with a salad, this is a great quick and easy recipe for any scallop lover. Do not overcook the scallops as they will become too tough. If you prefer the sauce thicker, make a paste of cornflour and water and use at the end of the recipe to thicken the sauce."

Great! The mushroom / sour cream combination was wonderful with the scallops. I used the thickened version using around two teaspoons of cornflour. I kept the seasoning to a fairly moderate amount of freshly cracked black pepper which worked really well.

I scaled this back for one serve and it made a delicious lunch for me with a little added fish and some cooked prawns served with some rice. Will be endeavouring to make again to get a photo of same, though instead of chopping the mushrooms I was thinking of using field or large portabellos and cook them in the oven till they collapse and cook the scallops as per rest of instructions and then serve them in the mushroom caps. Thanks Tisme, made for Make My Recipe.

OMG! This is possibly the best scallop dish we have ever had! Hubby was completely blown away (which was good, as I had made this especially for him for Father's Day! lol) I made a couple of tiny changes, but still stuck to the recipe - I didn't have quite enough shallots, so I topped it up with very finely choppe dleek, and i doubled the amount of mushrooms (my eldest son loves mushrooms but isn't a huge fan of scallops), and i doubled the sauce (because of the mushrooms lol). We will make this again and again, it was quick, simple, and very impressive! [Made for Aus/NZ recipe swap]

Excellent flavor. Loved the sauce. I modified slightly by searing the scallops in a separate pan to get the nice crisped ends, then added to the sauce at the end instead of cooking in the sauce. Served with quinoa. The sauce was so good I plan on trying with boneless, skinless chicken thighs as well. Maybe replacing the lemon juice with white wine.
