Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh scallops
• 8 ounces chanterelle mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the broiler to high.
2. Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the scallops to the skillet and season with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
6. Transfer the scallops to a broiler-safe baking dish and top them with the sautéed mushrooms.
7. Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the scallops are lightly browned and the mushrooms are golden and crispy.
8. Remove the dish from the broiler and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the broiled scallops with chanterelles hot, garnished with lemon wedges.
