This is one of my father's best recipes. We don't make it very often (though I'm never sure why), but it occurred to me that it would be wonderful to try his version. So, we made the sides and he made the scallops. It was FANTASTIC. This dish requires strict adherence to the technique (thank you, Julia Child!), but if done as instructed turns out incredibly and is not very hard. This is one that is sure to impress! Our family was very happy!

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Shallot, garlic, parsley
Time: 40 minutes (including drying time)
Make ahead: I'd do all of this last minute - it was easy with all four of us contributing :)

Reaction
J: "Classic French excellence!"
M: "Scallops at their finest."
