Scallop Pan Roast

1. Build the Sauce Base

Start by melting the butter over medium heat in a large pan. Once the butter has melted, add clam juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Heinz chili sauce. Stir these ingredients together, and season with celery salt to taste. This mixture forms a flavorful foundation for the creamy texture of the dish.

2. Add Cream and Milk

Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring continuously to create a luscious, rich base that coats the back of a spoon smoothly. Keep stirring until the sauce is well-mixed and free from any lumps, ensuring a velvety texture that’s essential for the dish.

3. Cook the Scallops

Gently add the bay scallops to the pan and let them simmer in the sauce for about 6 minutes. The scallops should become tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce, creating a harmonious blend of taste and texture.

4. Finish with Gin

Add a splash of gin to the pan, stirring it into the sauce. The gin brings a unique botanical note that complements the seafood beautifully, adding depth and complexity to the dish. Stir until the gin is well-distributed throughout the sauce.
