Seared Scallops with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle scallops with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the pan and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Add garlic and wine to the pan. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream, any accumulated juices from the scallops and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper; simmer for 2 minutes.

Return the scallops to the pan. Add sun-dried tomatoes and stir to coat with the sauce. Serve sprinkled with parsley, if desired.
