Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the scallops.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Place the seasoned scallops in the pan and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Remove the scallops from the skillet. Lower the heat and add the cream and Dijon mustard to the hot skillet. Stir continuously and let the sauce simmer gently.
  4. Return the cooked scallops back to the skillet and drizzle the creamy mustard sauce over them. Warm together for an additional minute.
  5. Plate the scallops, ensuring each is topped with creamy mustard sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs for added color.
