- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup cream
- 1⁄4 cup whiskey
- salt
directions
- Prepare the sauce first by heating the olive oil in the pan. Add minced garlic, vanilla and cream, let it come to a simmer.
- Add whiskey in and cook the sauce until it is reduced slightly. Toss in the chopped fresh parsley after the sauce is ready. Set the sauce aside and tend to the scallops or shrimp.
- Brush both sides of the scallops or shrimp with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and let sit for 10 minutes. In a heavy skillet, heat the remaining olive oil on medium high until hot, but not smoking.
- Pan-sear the scallops for 1-2 minutes on each side. The sides on the scallops must be slightly browned each time. For cooking the shrimp, sear until just pink and cooked through.
- Can be served over Recipe #282834 or rice with the Vanilla Whiskey sauce spooned over.

Welcome to my page, Born and raised in Montana and now I’m retired Navy and I live in North East Florida on 5 acres in the country. I have enjoyed cooking for as long as I can remember. Thanks to everyone that has tried and reviewed my recipes :>)
My review guidelines are as follows:
5 stars - Wonderful ! Perfect as posted and plan to make this recipe again!
4 stars - Liked it a lot and will make again but will probably alter the recipe slightly.
3 stars - OK but to make it again would require major changes to the original recipe to suit my tastes.
2 stars - Really didn't like it. Could be personal preference or the recipe just didn't meet expectations.
