Seared scallops with crème d'échalote (French creamy shallot sauce for fish and scallops)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Join my online French cooking classes 👨🍳: learn.thefrenchcookingacademy... Seared scallops with crème d'échalote is a delicious and simple sauce. With a base of butter and cream blended with shallots, tarragon and wine reduction it's very similar to beurre blanc. The crème d'échalote goes well with any white fish or, as shown in today's recipe, with seared scallops. A perfect match!
********************************************
Ingredients needed for the sauce:
(This recipe will produce enough sauce for 4 or more people, depending on how much sauce you use.)
150 ml of dry white wine (like a muscadet or sauvignon blanc)
250 ml of liquid cream (heavy whipping cream or double cream)
50 grams of finely sliced shallots
1 gram of fresh tarragon (finely chopped)
125 grams of plain unsalted butter, cut in small cubes (must be fridge cold)
Half a teaspoon of crushed black pepper (mignonette)
A pinch of salt ( or add to your taste)
A pinch of cayenne pepper
Notes and tips:
- In this video, only half the quantities listed above were used
- The butter used in the sauce must be cold
- Reducing the cream with the quantity above might take up to 10 minutes
- If you use a julienne of citrus, plunge the julienne in boiling water for a few minutes before using

Today's dish is seared scallops with crème d'échalote. This french recipe tutorial focuses on teaching you how to make this classic French sauce that can be served with fish or scallops.
The culinary technique we will learn today is a sauce that starts with a reduction a sec (reduction of an acidic liquid to an almost dry state) which is then "binded" by a reduction process (no thickening agent are added).
This particular sauce starts with a reduction of white wine shallots and fresh tarragon and black peppercorn ("mignonette").

Right, you could pour that sauce over your cell phone,... and it would taste good!! : )
Oh, YEAH! May I just eat the sauce with a spoon? Seriously, I will make this for white fish, too.
I made this tonight for me and my French family, i made it as a main meal, with a couple of scallops a few prawns and a small fillet of pollock, served with brown rice and leeks. Bloody delicious. Definitely worth the effort, another great video. Cheers.

made the crème d’échalote for my sausages, smashed potatoes and asparagus!
tarragon is a beautiful herb...
My kids decided to cook me a dinner yesterday, they watched your video to make me the scallops. Very delicious! Your videos are always very good, easy to follow, all 3 of us subscribe to your channel.
Definitely helps to have that cool French accent!
My question is who are those people that thumbs down this? I cannot wait to try this out! Looks amazing

This recipe was FABULOUS!! If you haven't tried it, you need to!!! Just have patience... It does take a while for the wine and cream to cook down. Don't rush it, you don't want to burn it.

That's junk science and it's way out of date. Natural animal fats are healthy. Crisco came on the market in 1913, and they immediately began bashing natural fats. But it's the fake fats, corn oil, soybean oil and trans fats that are bad for our health. It's cheap to make corn oil and soybean oil. So those companies have a lot of money that they use to bash the competition, healthy, natural fats like lard and red meat. Our ancestors, Homo Habilis, started using stone tools and eating high fat meat 2.6 million years ago. They're brain size increased by a third. Professor Richard Wrangham discovered that cooking goes back 1.7 million years! Thanks to cooking high fat meat, the brains of Homo Erectus increased by a whopping 42 percent, the largest increase in our development. The only healthy way to power our large brains is with animal fats. As for the fake fats, Barry Groves, a speaker and writer on nutrition said, "How can our health depend on a food that we never ate?"

@@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana Thank you for this! So true and accurate. I would also add that you generally get what you pay for. If there are two cuts of the same meat and one costs three times as much as the other, there is a reason. What I like to tell everyone is that the fat in foods is either the healthiest part of the food or unhealthiest. There is a huge discrepancy between carefully cultivated/raised HQ products and cheap mass produced garbage that is generated for a quick buck.
This is an incredible looking dish. I'm making this next week. Thanks Stephan! 😋👩🏽🍳

Oh lovely! I just picked up scallops and will make this tonight. Thank you!
I make this all the time and it wows people soooo much. The sauce is to die for!
Wow! Was at Aix in 2002; what a nice flashback, remember that lovely fountain! Nice recipe; please do more seafood dishes!!
Just had with grilled sea bass & crushed new potatoes with Savoy cabbage pan fried with garlic - divine. I used tarragon vinegar ( tarragon marinated in white wine vinegar 3 month +), Mâcon Lugny and a little lemon zest at the end. C’est magnifique!
Excellent Video As usual! Wow, all my favorite ingredients! Excellent. Thank you Chef!
Beautiful ! I may need a few large plates of them though
This one is on the menu tonight!
Beautifully done . Amazing low carb high fat recipe for keto/low carb dieters as well.
I am so glad I have found this channel. I think you are absolutely brilliant in your teaching and presentation. Keep up the good work!
an absolutely delicious, elegant and easy sauce. should be in every cook's repetoire. thanks to Stephan it is now in mine
I'll make it for Christmas dinner, my in laws will love it. Thank you Chef for posting the video.
It’s so nice to see something familiar, classic French cooking. You are good Chef Stephan. I’m also a proud owner of Paul Bocuse’ signed cookbook.
ils sont vraiment sensationnels tes videos !!!
Très bien 🤩
Awesome ❤️
Merci Stéphane superbe recette! Je referai tres prochainement c'est certain...
I made this last night and it turned out perfect and tasted amazing! My cooking time for the scallops was a little longer, but I just did it by eye from watching the video. Excellent channel!
OMG this sauce is so good! I just finished eating scallops with shallot cr sauce and my taste buds are dancing ❤
Made this recipe tonight. Awesome, is all I can say!
Hi Stefan! I find the FCA very useful and great to follow. I've made a lot of recipes and will make this one to fo with scallops tomorrow. Thank you very much for explaining French cooking so well.

Outstanding visual demonstration of the important steps in making a reduction/emulsion sauce. I now realize I’ve been doing it very wrong for very long time 👍. Great help!!
Je vous remercie, Stéphane ! Vous n'avez donné une excellente idée pour la fête des mères ! 😊
Love it. We never have used tarragon before- can’t believe what we’ve been missing...
This is quite a lovely sauce i can make with my scallops, prawns or white fish for my family or when we have a big dinner with many guests. Thank you for helping me cook a tasty sauce we can enjoy.
Thank u 😘
Thanks for this amazing recipe. It was very easy to make the sauce. Even though it was easy i still manager to meds up a bit, but it turned out incredible
This is an excellent basic sauce. I can foresee wild onions, ramps, fennel frond, etc. finding their way into this one. As always, love your passion and instruction!
New to the channel, but just made this tonight. It was easy to make, thanks to your excellent instruction. I will make the sauce again soon, but serve it with seared haddock, rather than scallops. Thanks, Stephan.
I did these tonight. I forgot to buy some garnish, but if that is my only complaint, I will take it. This dish is a home run. I loved it. I did pair it with some American Wagyu, so the whole experience was so good.
Just made this sauce to pair with a Chablis. It was beautiful. Thank you.
