Seared Scallops with Prosciutto on Tarragon Cream

Total time: 15 minutes
     Scallops are rich, sweet, and often expensive.  But we can still indulge.  Here they are quickly seared with a bit of Prosciutto and served on a bed of velvety Tarragon Cream.

Seared Scallops with Prosciutto on Tarragon Cream Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Note:  Some scallops will release water when cooked, causing them to steam rather than fry.  Be sure to use a large skillet, giving them plenty of room.  Turn the heat to high after adding the scallops if they don't start to sizzle.
