💡Tips
1. Pat the Seafood Dry Before Cooking
Before adding the seafood to the hot pan, make sure to pat it dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture from the surface of the seafood will help it brown nicely and prevent it from steaming instead of searing.
This step is important in achieving a flavorful, golden-brown exterior that adds depth to the dish.
2. Simmer the Sauce Until Reduced
When preparing the cream sauce, allow it to simmer for 5-8 minutes or until it has reduced by about half its original volume. This reduction process helps concentrate the flavors and creates a thicker, more luxurious sauce that clings beautifully to the seafood.
Be sure to stir the sauce occasionally as it simmers to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
