How To Make scallops with smoky creamed corn sauce

Step 3Add kernels and stir well to coat. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth and mix; season with salt, white pepper and raw sugar. Stir once again, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4Meanwhile, season scallops lightly with ground sea salt and white pepper; set aside.

Step 5When time is up, using an immersion blender, process until the corn mixture is smooth. Stir in smoked paprika; taste and adjust if necessary. Keep the mixture warm until ready to serve.
