Ensure your scallops and prawns are as dry as possible before adding them to the pan for optimal searing. Use a good quality dry white wine for the best flavor in the sauce. Do not overcook the scallops and prawns or they will become rubbery. They are done when they turn opaque. For a richer sauce, a splash of heavy cream can be added along with the butter.
